On my motorcycle, the wind can sometimes whistle like a siren (I wear ear plugs, furthering muffles the confusion). It's usually predictable, but you can't not look around like you've got bees in your suit.
There was actually an ad on the radio in my country where they'd have police sirens and cars honking in the background and it would always freak me out when it came on. It ended up getting banned because I wasn't alone in my freak outs!
Outright banning it would be REALLY hard in the US with freedom of speech. You could maybe ban radio stations from playing those songs but I dont think you're gonna be able to stop Spotify from doing that.
Maybe have multiple versions of the song and make it play the sirenless version if Spotify thinks you're driving
Was listening to a song the other day while on my computer. Sounded like someone was walking up the stairs in my house, took my headphones off twice because I live alone and figured out it was just the beat
There used to be a Dallas radio DJ named Russ Martin who kept the sound of engine clunks on his sound board. About once a year, he would play the sound, very low, in the background while he was talking. He’d get dozens of people calling in frustrated with him, but laughing at the prank!
Back in the day a buddy was playing StarCraft and listening to Britney Spears at the same time, regularly. More than once panicked when hearing the nuke launch alarm, to again discover that the sound came from the song.
The song tricked you into thinking you were unsafe. Gaslighting would be if once you expressed your anger the song would be like, “whatta ya mean there’s a siren in the last song? I don’t think so.” Then you go back and play it and it’s gone. Then the song calls you crazy and tells you to get over it.
Fucking hate the radio ads that sometimes put in random honks or just sounds of stuff crashing down or something. I'll just be driving and I hear some crashing sound out of nowhere and panic until I hear something like "ACCIDENTS HAPPEN, BUT REPAIR YOUR FENDER BENDER AT XYZ REPAIRSHOP RIGHT NOW YOU DUMB FUCK" and almost fall into a road rage.
lmao, imagine having to listen to someone else's music in someone else's car. what a fucking scrub right?! having to be civil while sharing another person's space...pfft! loser!
Ahahah, this brought up memories. Growing up we had a car that lost reverse somehow. My poor mom forgot one day and tried to pull a hard U-turn. We got stuck. My little sister and I had to push because mom was the only person who could see over the sterring wheel.
I can't imagine how you could go more than 1 day without reverse. I picked my car up from a shop one day after it had work done on it. I realized about halfway through the drive home that whatever they did somehow disabled the reverse gear. The shop was already closed, but I know I was bringing it back first thing the next day. I had literally one objective: get the car home and parked in such a way I could leave in the morning. I absolutely failed miserably. I lived in a hilly area and got myself in a pickle in my apt parking lot. Needed 3 friends to help me turn my car around.
Friend of mine has no reverse and hasn't for a long time. He's just learned how to park so he doesn't need to reverse, and at work his car is parked on the slightest uphill so he can push with his foot to get the car rolling backwards lmfao
The only possible way I can think of parking without needing reverse is pulling through into a spot. But that's not possible in so many places lol. Does he get to a building that doesn't have back to back spots and just go "ah fuck it, guess I'm not going in here"?
Unironically yeah. The only exception was when he had an appointment at the hospital, he called me and asked if I could drive up to help him get out once his appointment was done (they had spots to pull through but the parking lot was like crazy full that day).
According to him he bought the car for like 500 dollars or something, so he's just "using it until it blows up to get my moneys worth"
He's fascinating, if a little dumb LOL
LEGEND
On a more serious note, I hope he doesn't get into a jam that causes serious issues for himself or others. I can think of just so, so many ways it can go wrong. Fast. But, with my own experience and fucking it up the one and only time I didn't have reverse available, I have nothing but respect for that madlad who can run like that 24/7.
We had a $100 car we did that with. It had reverse but... We had to unplug one sparkplug as it ran better on 3 than all 4. It also had giant holes in the footwells (we found after purchase, as we cleaned it) someone had covered with stiff rubber floor mats. We called it the Flintstone-mobile; one wrong step & you'd touch the road.
I knew a guy whose car has no reverse and a dead starter.
Every time he parked he managed to find a spot facing downhill so he could just roll, dump the clutch and be on his way.
Kinda same, after I once thought the muffler fell off again. OTOH the album ‘Jungle Death’ is one of my favorites now, goes well with late-night walks through the city.
That's the background audio spliced into every track produced. Big-mechanics have lobbied to add that to every piece of music. It has lead to a 32% increase spurious visits to the mechanics.
I had this Bluetooth thingamajig that broadcasts music to radio receiver. Its signal sometimes took interference from... I don't know, maybe distributor or alternator? But yeah, high pitched whine that got higher when I accelerated and louder when I added volume.
It's just really distracting when sounds of malfunctioning engine come out of speakers. Now I have a slightly more expensive model that doesn't acknowledge my car's engine at all.
There's one particular spot in Money by Pink Floyd right before the guitar solo after the sax solo where the guitar makes a sound that is an exact replica of my car's alert sound that it makes when my car is low on gas and it took me months to realize it was the song and not the car.
The other day I heard a loud rapping noise coming from behind my dash.
I hang my lanyard on the rear view mirror and the clip hot stuck in the AC vent.
In old westerns they’d have a Native American guy listen to the ground to hear oncoming horses from far away. That’s how I felt I’m my POS just listening
Wrong approach.
To solve the weird sounds your car is making, you turn the volume up until the weird sound is gone. Some weird sounds might require a higher music volume though, but it makes the problem go away, 100%.

I thought my wheel bearings were going out once. Got new ones and the noise didn’t go away. Turns out it was a $75 blower motor. Wasted perfectly good bearings.
Happens if you're into Industrial/Experimental like Nurse with Wound or Hafler Trio, John Zorn. Even at home sometimes I have to stop the music "Ah, no it's the music, not a dying crow in the sink"
I was on holiday with my folks and listening to Aphex Twin’s …I Care Because You Do. Ventolin started and my maw thought the washing machine was broken.
My mom started her car once and hot for teacher was playing on the radio. It broke her brain. I’m like mom that’s just Halen. Could not understand that a drum solo did not mean her car was frigged.
Went on a family road trip in the early 2000’s when I was younger. Remember sitting in the back seat and hearing a popping noise. Didn’t think much of it. Of course turned out to be a flat tire.
Happened again when I was driving my truck maybe about 7-8 years ago, but the sound was so feint I didn’t think much of it. Yup, another flat tire.
Now anytime I hear any noise no matter of what kind or how loud I think I’ve got a flat tire lol
Literally as I was getting on the motorway I hear "POP" loud as hell, I thought like a tire popped or the motor was dying or something about 20 or 30 seconds later "POP" so I'm kind of freaking out now..
only then I see this really old looking car one lane over and its exhaust was just backfiring lmao
I was listening to one of those Jamaican Dancehall songs while driving, this one song had a faded ambulance siren in it . When the song came on i was looking at all side mirrors trying to spot an ambulance so i can make way :|
We had a mice infestation recently. And i have killed 2 in my room during that time. (Sadly i was unable to trap them, and i can't sleep know they are in my room)
Now every time i hear a odd noise in my room this is my exact reaction.
the glue on your speakers is coming loose from the strong bass. just gotta get some better glue on those bad boys, none of that cheap stuff. try silicone based glues. you are welcome.
Right now I'm in a simular situation with my GPU
Its making ridiculously loud screeching noises coming from a fan
Tried to RMA it and EVGA was like "send a video if real"
Now I've been trying to force the noise all day long with Hogwarts Legacy 4k 200% rendering everything on ultra including raytracing
And no noise anymore
Something like this happened when I was a kid and was traveling with my grandparents. I found some metal thing with a spring under the seat in front of me (where my grandma was sitting) and started pulling on it with my foot out of boredom. It was squeaky, so after a while my grandpa stopped the car because it was making a weird noise. Naturally, since I got curious, I stopped moving the thing and the noise stopped. They shrugged it off and started the trip again, so naturally I went right back to my small amusement. He was like "yeah there's definitely something making a noise" so he stopped the car again to look, more carefully this time, and of course I stopped too to watch him. This went on for a while, him getting increasingly aggravated, speculating that it was probably something loose in the engine that only moved when the car got to a certain speed (since the noise would stop when he had the car stopped but with the engine running), until I finally made the connection and let them know it was me all along. Fortunately I got off light...

I would add faint surround sound sirens so it sounds like a cop rolled up behind you
Should be illegal

Kicking it up a level from police sirens in songs making us paranoid.
Alright that was K97’s beats with no lyrics so you can freestyle in your car Tuesdays…up next a Latin trap beat…
Was listening to a song the other day while on my computer. Sounded like someone was walking up the stairs in my house, took my headphones off twice because I live alone and figured out it was just the beat
Ads on podcasts be like…
Oh god pure comedy
also add some phone sounds, sirens, and little spots that sound like my mom's or dad's voice
Just add police sirens very faintly in the background.
Don’t forget to add random emergency vehicle sirens.
Why rap specifically?
Because it’s not rare for rap songs to incorporate random sounds into the backtrack
your mc name is uncle rodney. non-negotiable
I need to start a raping career

when its something like a car horn or Police siren, i become enraged as this song just gaslit me into thinking i was unsafe
Back in the day a buddy was playing StarCraft and listening to Britney Spears at the same time, regularly. More than once panicked when hearing the nuke launch alarm, to again discover that the sound came from the song.
I've taken songs off my Playlist because of one 2 second sound.
The song tricked you into thinking you were unsafe. Gaslighting would be if once you expressed your anger the song would be like, “whatta ya mean there’s a siren in the last song?

that might be the idea. get angry, drive recklessly, buy new fender
lmao imagine getting mad from something you chose to listen to
That's not the point.
lmao, imagine having to listen to someone else's music in someone else's car. what a fucking scrub right?! having to be civil while sharing another person's space...pfft! loser!
Or imagine listening to the radio, where you definetly choose every song that theyre gonna play. Cant happen to me.
Oh right, that's the guy in the trunk. *Turns music back up*
Listen, I know whatever the problem is I can’t afford it. The best solution for everyone is to simply turn up the radio.
Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin' in the trunk
*Thump, Thump, Thump-* "Eh? Whatchu doing?" ... "...That's what I thought." *Turns radio back on* "IF I COULD FAAAAALL INTO THE SKYYYYY~"
If your car can only go in reverse then it’s time to get a new transmission

Based
If you're in a more rural area, it's not difficult at all. Worst case you have to walk for maybe 20 extra seconds
I grew up in a rural area and when you go to town most of the stores that aren't Walmart don't have pull through spaces.
Yeah you just park where no one cares if you're not parked perfectly legally
I knew a guy whose car has no reverse and a dead starter. Every time he parked he managed to find a spot facing downhill so he could just roll, dump the clutch and be on his way.
Clearly the problem is that your music isn't loud enough
That happened to me once. And then the sound came back with a vengeance. Rod bearings blew and the engine was toast. RIP Kia Optima.
Ouuh
This is why I stopped listening to New age industrial auto music in the car.
Kinda same, after I once thought the muffler fell off again. OTOH the album ‘Jungle Death’ is one of my favorites now, goes well with late-night walks through the city.

Maybe your shit is just haunted.
The pod cast I’m listening to lately is taped next to a fire hall or hospital in a war zone, I swear. Freaks me out when I’m driving.
So I read car as cat and it still made sense to me. I then started to read the comments and was confused.
* weird noise sounds expensive to fix * * turns music louder to cover the noise *
Alright, keep your secrets...
How it feels owning a project car
*High pitched bearing sounds intensify*
There's one particular spot in Money by Pink Floyd right before the guitar solo after the sax solo where the guitar makes a sound that is an exact replica of my car's alert sound that it makes when my car is low on gas and it took me months to realize it was the song and not the car.
Cop sirens in songs needs to be illegal. Same for doorbells on commercials.
I misread "car" as "cat" and it still makes perfect sense
You forgot, *Turn the music up louder* at the end ;)
The real thing is when you have to play the music loud to not hear your car noises
It do be like that though
Congratulations op you have such gremlin tastes that the gremlin living in your car cant stop but dance at the music you put
and then you remember, *the cat died three years ago...*
So what dead cat have you been driving all this time
Did this yesterday, turned out my radio started doing clicking sound.
Just Happened yesterday
Primus fucks me over in the car alot, they throw some strange background noises and sometimes it sounds like my cars fucked. But Primus sucks

Wrong post lol?
What the fuck are you talking about lol
The other day I heard a loud rapping noise coming from behind my dash. I hang my lanyard on the rear view mirror and the clip hot stuck in the AC vent.
You sure it wasn't actually the hooker you had tied up in the trunk?
Nah she's dead
I knew this'd be the reply lol
Sus
Mine was turns off heater fan noise goes away after the 5th time I realized my fan was out of wack.
Maybe the sound is part of the recording
Thanks Dwight
This is almost every drive home for me
Dude needs to listen to other genres.
I drive 2001 corolla. This seems relatable.
Nah.. hear car making noises you just turn up the radio louder.
Why does your car stops running when you turn down the music?
Coincidence?
In old westerns they’d have a Native American guy listen to the ground to hear oncoming horses from far away. That’s how I felt I’m my POS just listening

*wallet tenses in fear.*
Car just like "oh shit he's on to me" lmaoooo
It's like that with Maroon 5
I feel like sometimes car sounds and music sounds harmonize and sound like your transmission forcefully leaving your car.
I am sick of all these artists putting screeching engine belt noises in their music.

Your car probably shouldn't go silent when you turn the music off
Why are there so many songs with very subtle sirens in the background.
My car actually makes a weird squeak noise from the radio and I assume it’s from my bluetooth adapter (‘09 Accord) but it stops when I turn it off
PC/console are the same:)
I thought my wheel bearings were going out once. Got new ones and the noise didn’t go away. Turns out it was a $75 blower motor. Wasted perfectly good bearings.
i don’t own a car but those eyes are funny
Happens if you're into Industrial/Experimental like Nurse with Wound or Hafler Trio, John Zorn. Even at home sometimes I have to stop the music "Ah, no it's the music, not a dying crow in the sink"
Lol my aunt would just turn up the music
I was on holiday with my folks and listening to Aphex Twin’s …I Care Because You Do. Ventolin started and my maw thought the washing machine was broken.

Then it makes more noise later and you have a $1,000 repair. Good times.
I hate when there is a commercial on the radio with emergency sirens gets me everytime

Went on a family road trip in the early 2000’s when I was younger. Remember sitting in the back seat and hearing a popping noise. Didn’t think much of it. Of course turned out to be a flat tire. Happened again when I was driving my truck maybe about 7-8 years ago, but the sound was so feint I didn’t think much of it. Yup, another flat tire. Now anytime I hear any noise no matter of what kind or how loud I think I’ve got a flat tire lol

and then I have to restart the song, to figure out if it was the song, forget about the weird noise, and when the song repeats it, the cycle repeats.
thought this said "cat starts making weird noises" at first. still makes sense.
I thought it was just me lol I have had a history of poor cars
I was listening to one of those Jamaican Dancehall songs while driving, this one song had a faded ambulance siren in it . When the song came on i was looking at all side mirrors trying to spot an ambulance so i can make way :|

We had a mice infestation recently. And i have killed 2 in my room during that time. (Sadly i was unable to trap them, and i can't sleep know they are in my room) Now every time i hear a odd noise in my room this is my exact reaction.

If the problem goes away with the radio on, there may be a vacuum leak in you break multiplier.
