We had dinner the other night with a well known software entrepreneur (not Bill). Cryptic link to a shot of his house here. We were riffing around with the notion that hybrids, like Priuses, are dangerous in town centres as they're silent. People cross the roads with their ears not their eyes. So, apparently, hybrid manufacturers are to build in sound generators. This made me think it would be fun to download your own - 'rolltones'? - say to emulate a tank, or a jet, or a gas-guzzler (so you can at least pretend). Said entrepreneur took extensive notes and no doubt has the wherewithal to make such fancy a reality. But you heard it here first.
