'vinyl' roads!

i just read an article about roads in Hokkaido in japan that are made with grooves at varying intervals that produce a song when you drive over them! apparently 45 km/hr is the best speed to listen to them at.

thats awesome - but how true.. is this a job for myth busters or google?

i guess you have to drive over them with a car-tridge
heehee

well, i read it in the well respected science journal 'nature' so im pretty sure it would be true

lol that is pretty funny peat. nice

Technically speaking, i guess its like those ridged paint lines you get on the side of the motorway to wake you up if you are driving off the road asleep but with variation on the distance of hits. Encoding amplitude and frequency must be possible, they managed to encode 4 speaker surround into vinyl records in the 70's, it was short lived though as the rear speaker components were harmonically encoded and wore out very quickly.

haha

i want those bumps on my driveway now.

the who even made a record about it
