Pedestrian warning sound

Ok, it's been a while, but my project is complete! I designed and ordered a custom PC board, got all the parts, ran tests, assembled some kits, and it's now complete. See this thread for all the details:

Vendor - Pedestrian Horn -- Introducing EV-Horn!

 

[Nomac]

Pre-war cars had a horn button called Town and Country. These played a soft horn sound for Town where pedestrians are warned politely. A loud one for chasing animals off the road.
The button had a switch next to the button.
Tesla could change the LH or RH horn button to play a warning sound. Or either button could be made sensitive to the pressure on the button and play quietly if pressed lightly. Or button pressed for short time, like 1/10 sec would play warning sound for 2-5 secs.

The same sound could be emitted when the car is going less than 20kph / mph

Legislation and common courtsey make this essential.

I just turn up the volume on the stereo as I'm usually listening to Trance/Progressive. Pedestrians figure it out quickly as the subwoofer in the trunk goes into overdrive. Maybe I'll drop the window if they're oblivious.
