    Why? It should sound a lot better than the Radio Shack beeper for sure.
    Pardon the pun, but I think it'd be a real 'hoot'... :D

    I opted for the "Attention Please, this car is backing up!" (english) version. Strongly considered the train, but decided even my 'geek titer' wasn't high enough for that. Seemed like it would be a lot of fun though.

    Is there a .wav file or something so we can hear it?

    There is already one of these (not the train sound) built into the prius! If you press the front left window down button in long enough, the window will go all the way in, leaving a nice sized hole where the window used to be. Sufficent size for you to stick you head out the window and yell "move the F*** out of my way!" When done, the button you pressed earlier to remove the window, now pull it upwards, and the window will start to reappear out of the door, until it is flush with the molding, leaving no trace of any modification!

    Hey this works great! Bonus was the little old lady fainting and she landed on the grass and not in the road! Completely out of the way.
