Prius engine sound

I think there have been no reports of any blind people being struck by a Prius.

 

The Prius is very easy to hear when the driver blows the horn.

 

I dont think it important for the blind to hear you as you are doing the driving and are hopefully *not* blind!

I want to put a semi truck air horn on my Pri... *evil grin*

 

I just use clothespins to clip baseball cards to my spoked wheels. :evil:

 

Or get this mod:

 

if your worried about making more noise why not just take a blow torch to the muffler or put on one of them cool 3 inch crackle pipes off your 1 inch exhaust pipe. You can even wake up the neighbors as you drive buy. Or hell go all out and get a kicking amp for the trunk and thump the blind out the way. :loco:

 

if blind people relyed solely on hearing, half of them wouldnt be alive, a lot of new cars are real quiet.

 

Not to mention the hazards of bicycles and rollerblades.

 

it's called 'Vehicular Darwinism' it weeds out the idiots that shouldn't be out there already!
Trust me, pedestrians hear me coming, even in a Prius, because if people are crossing in front of me, I mash the accelerator, and the gasoline engine will kick in. Even a Prius at WFOT sounds like a jet, not quite like the Lexus RX400h, but they're pretty loud with the engine and motor opened up!

 

This site is slow tonight......edited post below.

 

Toyota should modify the exhaust-system of the Prius to make it sound like a Harley. Loud pipes save lives!!

 

Even the Prius has tyres. Have you noticed lately the exhaust sticks out the back of most cars and the loudest noise a modern car makes when approaching is from the tyres?
