Our latest Forging the Future video is out - The Sound of Scout. A sneak peek into how we go about creating all the sounds in future Scout vehicles.

From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.
Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.
How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.
Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.
So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.
We are Scout Motors.
This was an awesome watch, love the attention to detail and excited to see how the original Scout sounds will be incorporated.
Cool! So a unique ‘whir’. How about the sound of wind in Aspen trees? There is none like that.
I JUST CAN’T STAND IT!
To say the least, but things like this remind me that I’m definitely in it for the long haul.
The mix of wind and engine rumble was actually really pleasant to hear
Amazed they climbed into that grain silo. Great video but know they didn’t grow up around farming 
Very cool so much thought is/was put into the sounds & it won't just be digital beeps & whooshes. I think those fit some vehicles, but definitely would have felt strange in a Scout based on the vision board (lol) you all have built.
How about color and sound combinations?
Silo color and Silo soundscapes
Pacific Mist color and Pacific Ocean soundscapes
Terra Cotta color and New Mexico soundscapes.
I suspect that a color-sound matching would have to be an option purchase.

Oh I like that idea. What does a butter churn sound like?
@J Alynn might know he's from Amish country.Oh I like that idea. What does a butter churn sound like?
Why restrict them to vehicle color? Make them all available as options for the driver to pick.
Me too!They had me right from the original "blinker" sound
This is true - maybe they could have sound theme groups based on specific areas/activities that are default to a specific color/trim, but they'd all be available in the settings regardless of the model or aesthetic or performance choices.
Lots of interesting stuff in there, thanks for posting.
From what I could hear of the "vehicle moving sound" (The AVAS: Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System), I thought it sounded good. I wish I could have heard it better, but understand why its obfuscated.
I also liked the recording of all the tactile/mechanical things, and agree they can be very satisfying. However, I haven't really thought about how I feel about having those same mechanical/tactile things, be played back if/when I did something that didn't have its own tactile/mechanical sound. IE, I... don't really know where I stand on having speakers play noises from a mechanical door lock playing, while I'm actually locking the door (or other similar things). Might be ok, but also, I could see how that could feel weird (hearing things like that over the speakers).
Unpopular take here: Despite having lived some of my formative years in the south, and loving the show "Dukes of Hazzard", I don't like country music, at all. So please, if you lean into the "Country Music is American", I'd hope its subtle, or can be disabled.
