To be perfectly clear, i am totally against any kind of noise pollution added to an improved product, that being said we have no control over our GOV'T that is run by lobbyist that get what they want based on the amount of money tendered, to ease the pain I would use the fairly unobtrusive beep that the rear hatch emits when lowering, i don't think you would hear that in the cabin if pointed from the front of the car.

I offer this again, try having a little patience, the people will get there eventually and then you can resume your high rate of speed in the parking lots
This is a great idea. I was thinking about something that sounded like a kid's bicycle bell. Soft, polite. I then was trying to envision where I could buy a device and hook it up to the 12 V, run a wire, etc. A wireless solution is awesome! What bell did you use?
By the way, to those here who are debating whether anything like this is needed or not, I respectively ask that you leave that for another discussion. This thread was created by the OP for a solution, not a debate on necessity.

I gotta hand it to you guys. While I may not agree with the necessity of such an item, I have to admire your ingenuity.

It is a creative idea, true. I wonder if anyone hears the sound and looks around for a door to open. ;-)
Placed the order just now. Thanks for posting the link to that one. Now to pick the sound effects
This **** just got real for Europe as well.

Has no one here heard a Fisker? It has the PERFECT sound. It's a sound that is actually pleasant to hear and fits the car perfectly. The best way I can describe it is that it sounds like the "AH" in "TA-DAH", but sort of soft and synthesized. It's really perfect and I bet the cost to develop that sound was what drove Fisker into bankruptcy. I'd buy it in a second; not because I think it is necessary, but it sounds so great.
I am coming around to value of ped warning for All cars, not just EV. But 90% of pedestrians and cyclists around here have earbuds or headphones on. You need a horn. Can't be too subtle.
I find the Volt subtle pedestrian horn perfect. Very handy and not just for pedestrians but for non critical situations (ex. someone asleep at a red light). Hope it will be mandatory in all car one day.
My experience is that it would take a foghorn to have any effect in these instances. Something around 120 dB.
