Ellen and all,
If you want to here the sound, and haven't yet, go to this URL:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOEuCJfsS8k&feature=player_embedded
It will bring you to a brief video with the car sound.

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.
