When I was around 10 I had a plastic pretend motor on my bike that had a rotating arm inside that hit a piece of cardboard (yes I took it apart). It sounded like an idling engine. (yes friends were envious. You would have been too). The faster you wanted your motor to sound you just turned a corresponding knob (looked like the air cleaner). very cool for a 1970s 10 year old. I just read this about the new model Mustang: {In the good old days, when a muscle car came down the road you heard it before you saw it. Nowadays however that celebrated roar had to be fabricated and pumped in. This is achieved by something called by Ford as Active Noise Control. This system is designed to mask out unwanted noises but deliver the authentic noise that the classic versions of these cars are legend for. Sounding a bit like doublespeak, chief engineer of the Ford Mustang line, Dave Perciak explained what Active Noise Control does. Perciak states that the system delivers the sound from the engine through the speakers after processing the sound by also amplifying “the existing engine sound order,”.} I think what made sense for a toy isnt necessarily the same logic when applied to a very expensive not toy .
