Musical rumble strips...

[Ruairidh Dunford]

New to me but apparently common in Japan, Holland and the US etc...

Has anyone tried it in a Seven (and can you hear it if so)?

[Duncan Grimmond]

Where words fail music speaks!

It’s only January, isn’t it ?

[Peter Sweeney]

Sounds like the M180 only quieter.

[Chris KC]

Be very careful what you wish for!!

My son was in Japan fairly recently and “ tried “ the rumble strips on mount Haruna in Gunma. They are designed to work at the speed limit which was 50 Kmh so an A7 could manage it.
I hope to visit with him in the autumn and try for myself.
Incidentally he says he is a mongrel with a Scottish mother, English father ( vet) and born in Lancashire !

Route 66 in U.S. has musical rumble strips...https://youtu.be/rgizA_vDlzs (plays America the Beautiful, so beware)

I remember some experimental version of this 40 years ago when being driven to Scotland in a Morris Traveller (A1 I think). Not musical, but noisy enough to stop you sleeping apparently! I suppose it was a variation on the kerbside rumble strip idea.

My son just emailed me to say you have to get up the mountain in the first place, as if that could be a challenge for an Austin !

I have come across these and understand the principle is simple in that, to hear the 'tune' correctly you have to be just below the speed limit. I guess there might be an unintended consequence to liven things up and so try to speed the music up by speeding.
