It's the saddest thing to me about the state of many cars today. They play engine noises on the speakers inside the car. What is this nonsense, who wants to live in the matrix? I chose the red pill. I jubilantly drive a stick shift car with a radio that has a cd player and buttons. Not a single touchscreen in the car. It has an engine, I hear it the organic way, through the transmission of vibrations from its operation straight to my ear holes. Not through a computer that plays a sound sample based on the position of a sensor on the throttle.

This in nothing new. If you are in the US, do you think salmon is naturally that pink? Do you think cheddar is so yellow? Do you think vacuum cleaners need to make so much noise? Answer to all of these questions is no and the only reason they are done is to trick the consumer.

  Excellent point. It is absolutely not new. I also avoid those things except salmon, its pinkness doesn't really enhance my personal enjoyment so I'm not hung up on that one. It's easy to buy natural, traditionally made food. Once you go away from factory food you can't really go back.

  Are there mods to silence vacuum cleaners? I wouldn't be surprised if the noise were amplified through a speaker inside the vacuum cleaner itself.

    You can buy some brands that focus on quietness. Typically they are canister or shop vacations style, and geared toward professionals. Those backpack vacuums you always see housekeeping in hotels use, the dual stage ship vacuums like the Vacmaster VF408

> I jubilantly drive a stick shift car with a radio that has a cd player and buttons Oooh, look at you with your fancy radio! My car doesn't even have a synchro on first gear, and you've got a cd player. I bet you've got luxury roll up windows instead of side curtains, and signal lights instead of trafficators, huh? ;)
