The industry itself has done a fair amount of testing, but as I remember,
ford may not have been involved.  I do hope they pay attention to the work
that their colleagues and others have already done.

I hope that Ford works with sound engineers, looks at the research on
ambient sound and its effect on the ability to cross streets, and selects a
sound that will work best for travelers. There is a great deal of science
available.  We need the car to make a noise that fits precise decibel and
frequency requirements, can be quickly recognized, that will be accessible
to the traveler without masking other traffic sounds, and that can be most
readily heard by most pedestrians.
