Custom External Sounds

[shadyog]

While the Dodge Charger EV fell flat in the execution, I think it's a good idea in concept. I would love to have the option to upload my own external audio files for the external engine noise. For those of us that want a "engine sound" let us upload our own sounds. It would be the modern day "garage tinkering/muffler mod". Would also allow you to make your scout "YOUR OWN".

Perhaps I'll make my engine sound be something that sounds like a Tractor mixed with a starship.... Next guy might just upload a raw V-8 sound.. Next guy a diesel sound. It's not a big ask really but would go a long way.

And of course for those that don't want it all, can just turn it off.

I was afraid of that. That really “rubs me the wrong way”. (Insert expletives as desired)

For some reason whenever I get a new car, the first time I hit the really bumpy railroad tracks near my house that external speaker stops working. One of these days I'll remember to schedule the service.

4 points for grey-hair.

Its 200 points if they are on a bike on the road when there is a bike lane and a sidewalk.

Regular bike or E-bike?

Reading my son's Ranger Rick magazine which has a section on animal sounds that included the Lyrebird which sounds similar to a car alarm.

I hate the idea of an external sound! I get woken up every morning by my neighbors toyota hybird and the stupid high pitched sound it makes every morning. I understand that some people may want it to sound like an older engine, but give us the ability to turn it off please. I will be using mine in the mountains all the time and the LAST thing I want is an engine sound... I'm looking forward to enjoying the aspen leaves and the mountain views without an engine.... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, do not make a mandatory engine sound!

Make it sound like a DT466. Problem solved. (I believe federal regs require some type of sound at low speed for safety.)

I want my fart sound

I want my fart sound

If Scout offers a fart sound, I know one thing is for sure... I'm 100% OUT.

(not that I believe they would ever offer one).

It just ain't part of the no-nonsense, more understated, and much more BADA$$ Scout fabric & ethos. Way off-brand, actually.

Stay classy Scout Motors!!!

How bout we customize what we want? Having custom lock sounds, driving sounds is what made Tesla great. Considering we are here because Scout is making EV and EREV's.

This is just me, and I get everyone has their own wishes, but I’m hoping that Scout is very uniquely Scout. I want them to have their own sound profiles that we get to select from. For example, let Tesla and Rivian and the Ioniq 5N have their own sounds.

I would like to be driving down the road or setting my alarm or unlocking my car and people recognize that that noise is coming from a Scout, just like you recognize a fart noise is coming from a Tesla.

I think the thing though is Scout can have its own sounds but allow the ability to upload custom sounds. That's what Tesla did and made it great. And honestly, that's why they're the leader in the industry is thinking outside the box and pretty much every imaginable aspect. I think rivian is a close second but I haven't been able to mess around in one of the vehicles. And I would say the same thing about lighting not just Force a red LED but have the ability to have any color..

Ps.. I’m thinking back to when you could actually customize the driving sound. People had space whooshes, bubbling effects, even fart sounds — and it was hilarious watching a Tesla roll by making those noises. Now it’s all illegal, which kills a lot of the fun. It’d still be great if manufacturers let us choose our own sounds and just accept the risk, but that’s probably never coming back.

The remote‑triggered sounds were uniquely cool too — being able to fire off a fart sound from the app or inside the car was peak Tesla weirdness in the best way. I seriously doubt Scout will ever go that far. But at the very least, customizable lock sounds should be on the table. And honestly, I’d be pleasantly surprised if Scout offered a whole suite of sounds you could trigger from the app or in the cabin the way Tesla does.

Not to mention the car speaker system that you could actually talk through..

Not onboard. Bad ideas get reflected on Scout’s reputation and I don’t want Scout having the rep that Tesla does. Not good for the brand
