Wouldn't this sound also really confuse ducks? A group of researchers from South Korea have developed a car horn that’s less stressful for people to hear but still alerts folks to a vehicle’s presence. The new sound is similar to a duck’s quack. They presented the study at the Acoustics '17 Boston conference of the Acoustical Society of America. “The selected sound can be utilized in any motor vehicles available at the market so that not only the drivers honking but also the pedestrians hearing the car-horn sound can live more comfortably without hearing any annoying noise from the streets,” authors Sang-Hwi Jee, Myung-sook Kim, and Myung-Jin Bae from Soongsil University in Seoul, South Korea, write in the study’s abstract.

Hurtan Grand Albaycín Bespoke Is A Miata RF With Euro Influences
There's a 2.0 Mazda-sourced engine under the hood. Hurtan is a Granada-based small-scale automaker, focused on building retro-looking vehicles with modern technologies. About two months ago, the Spanish company unveiled its Grand Albaycin roadster based on the Mazda MX-5 , and now there’s a new version of that car. Just like Mazda has a hardtop version of the two-seater, Hurtan is launching the Grand Albaycin Bespoke based on the MX-5 Miata RF. Logically, this means the soft-top mechanism is replaced by an automatic hardtop roof, which can be finished in a different color compared to the rest of the body for a two-tone paint scheme. Gallery: Hurtan Grand Albaycín Bespoke 5 Photos Other than the hardtop, the sports car looks identical to the model introduced in January.

Pastrana, whose list of achievements includes 11 X Games gold medals and four Rally America titles, is also the co-creator of the Nitro Circus action sports franchise, Nitro World Games and the upcoming Nitro Rallycross Series.

Cadillac Lyriq Pre-Production Prototype Shown Testing For First Time
It looks a whole lot like the example in previous photos. Cadillac Vice President of North America Sales, Service, and Marketing Mahmoud Samara celebrated on LinkedIn about the milestone of pre-production testing of the Cadillac Lyriq now being underway at General Motors' test center in Michigan. The brand's premium, electric crossover goes into production in roughly a year during the first quarter of 2022. The comparison below shows the pre-production model on the left and the photo on the right is the previously revealed version of the Lyriq. They are very similar. The pillars look a bit thicker. The rear wheel well doesn't appear to cut into the back door as much on the camouflaged car as on the other one. When Cadillac released the uncovered images of the Lyriq, it said the pictured vehicle was 85 percent finished. So the small tweaks visible on this pre-production model make sense.
