That’s not how physics works, though. Go too slow or too fast and you’ll hear the same melody in a different key (before you crash).

- TheRealSteel 6y agoI'm fairly sure this would only work within a certain speed range, cars have suspension, there's other noise to contend with, and human hearing is limited.
- jtbayly 6y agoSure, at 450MPH all bets are off on the high notes, but rumble strips don't suddenly stop making noise when you drive 90 MPH.
- jtbayly 6y agoAbsolutely right. I can't believe you're being downvoted for. Haven't people driven on rumble strips before? The note is dependent on your speed and how far apart they are spaced. Change your speed and it'll change the note, but it won't affect the relative distance between the various notes.
