Inspire</span><br><br> After spending decades trying to make cars quieter, engineers are not faced with the opposite problem; electric cars (and hybrids when they run in electric mode) can be very quiet, leading to safety concerns (more on that below). Nissan's sound engineers are currently working on the Leaf EV, and they announced something that movie geeks are sure to appreciate....<br><br>Bloomberg writes: "Toshiyuki Tabata spent 30 years as a Nissan Motor Co. engineer trying to make gasoline-powered cars quieter. Now he's consulting music composers to make electric cars noisier -- and safer. [...] The company consulted Japanese composers of film scores. What Tabata and his six-member team came up with is a high- pitched sound reminiscent of the flying cars in 'Blade Runner,' the 1982 film directed by Ridley Scott portraying his dystopian vision of 2019."<a track="on" href="http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102719618425&s=101324&e=001DiDdq99XL6TvHJUBcB8RivbWdTAl5jkQum24DLR-QbbsTdrtcM1UsPCZLz8-E1P3cTcsA7Vqu5gPw-gkw-JDHWDxNOdN0kgeY0jc91CAmL_XRZOphahLdGzMB9TBQD_ObiqE7Xu7Pd3n0ut4sZJ8c2CSxC0WIu38bFMNOV_HAeccTZ-31ctyNtg2YzNN-OP_DCBcwhuuwHwVWubdHEfrJIunBuuhX4XFD1KtUbesujs3gLXPrsp0R4-5I-J33cvT" linktype="link" target="_blank"><font color="#9c3127"> More in TreeHugger </font></a><br></font></td> </tr> </tbody></table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color:#FFFFFF;" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="100%" rowspan="1" colspan="1"> <table style="background-color: rgb(84, 85, 81);" bgcolor="#545551" border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="content_LETTER.BLOCK12"> <tbody><tr> <td style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 6pt; padding-left: 5px;" styleclass="style_FinePrintText" rowspan="1" align="left" colspan="1"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> Big thanks to our gracious, dependable sponsor of many years: </span><a style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" track="on" href="http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102719618425&s=101324&e=001DiDdq99XL6RhDXQRhWkxsTeqnBMijjY-UpF2dEbSn_zHgUkP9GEB0DdXRJ43mLpv2zmEXtF46buLMAg-Xo8Pn2lAk_uBK857BUTNzWE3w1U=" linktype="link" target="_blank">Pair</a></td> <td rowspan="1" align="right" colspan="1"><a track="on" href="http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102719618425&s=101324&e=001DiDdq99XL6RBjTiJZYSrMuxm-CXBdAH1A6U36eYa4pP-zidktpIQS0j0UX1Sdcx5KsEnAdzNp6DbjSqfyMWNCxxzjADHEgwG6y2VAB7WmfN932fGMa96ghW8CXMQFT0xdNnhwTW10KAN6RVVr3wRVA==" target="_blank"><img vspace="0" border="0" hspace="0" src="http://promote.pair.com/468x60.pl" align=""></a><br></td> </tr> </tbody></table> </td> </tr> </tbody></table></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="10" width="100%" rowspan="1" colspan="1"> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </div> <div align="center" style="background-color:#ffffff;"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="position: static; z-index: auto; "><tbody><tr><td> <div style="font-family:verdana,arial;font-size:8pt;color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff;padding-top: 20px;" align="left" id="LETTER.PHYSICALADDRESS"><font style="font-family:verdana,arial;font-size:8pt;color:#000000;" color="#000000" size="1" face="verdana,arial">TreeHugger | 850 3rd Ave. Eight Floor | New York | NY | 10022</font></div> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </div><img src="http://rs6.net/on.jsp?t=1102719618425.0.1101068403417.101324&ts=S0410&o=http://ui.constantcontact.com/images1/s.gif" height="1" width="1"></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
