you may get one or more space sounds. At the very least, you get a 2" diameter 8 Ohm speaker, S.P.D.T. slide switch, two leds and a 9-volt battery snap.

0 for3 but still trying
Have purchased 3 so for and all only work on one mode, luckily I use the parts for other projects, can't beat the price.

1+ Get a bell for people and bikes. Add a horn for cars. Other sounds, while seemingly cool, will only confuse people and result in someone turning right into you. Bells aren't offensive and are mandatory on bikes in some locales, so it seems like a good standard that we should all get used to and promote.

@TylerDurden: I didn't read the user comments on that one. Well, it's likely that the chips and stuff all (or mostly) work, just that there is a bug in the PCB or wiring design. The chips could probably still be used to create the sound effects, if the bug could be worked out.

Get a big brushless outrunner. Then it sounds kinda like a jet-engine crossed with a vacuum cleaner as you ride, but it's as nice sound overall.

I think it would be great if the electronics guys here figured out the best way to make a noise-generating device. Especially if it allows the user to download a selection of sounds you want from off of the web.

If some one works on this, please post the schematics and parts needed to work with 36V, 48V and 72V...

It would be kind of cool if all electric motors made the Jetsons sound, but people seem to hear me as I approach on my Electric scooter. The drivetrain or chain noise is just enough for pedestrians (on the sidewalk) to hear me, as I see them cock their head to the left as if to say...What is that? I also have an Incredibell that I ding ding when comming up on to the back of cyclists.

[amberwolf]

@spinningmagnets: There are a number of types of the main part of this already around like the one posted above that is even multi-triggerable.

http://LadyAda.net has some projects that could be used for it too.

All you need to power any of them is a small DC-DC converter, and a lot of celphone chargers already laying around in your home or local thrift stores could do this.

Then a little amplified speaker to project the sound.

So all that needs to be done is packaging them up together in a little box with wires on the end to plug into your pack.

This is It ! only the price scares the hell out of me...

But this gadget can do it all... gonna try to make a mix of the atari pcb tone generator mixed together with a jetson space sound.

I agree, that is IT pretty much, but too spendy for my budget.
It seems like you could do somthing with a Basic Stamp or Audrino board, but I don't know about software.

For the price of that thing, you could get a Korg Kaoscillator: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/543486-REG/Korg_KO1_KO1_KAOSSILATOR_Dynamic.html

I'm not sure how you would interface it, but it makes some really cool sounds.

Here's one that's closer, a digital voice recorder using an Atmel AT90S8535. They have the code for a voice recorder, so it would take some software hacking to make it into a sample loop player with variable pitch.

Another Atmel voice recorder: http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc1456.pdf

This one looks interesting too, Just the chip with software already loaded, but I didn't see the price:
http://www.eletech.com/Products/QuikVoice_Chips/VP1000A/vp1000a.htm

While we're at it, DigiKey has a digital voice recorder chip for $5.50.
That's more in my price range. The pitch of the sample can be changed by varying an external oscillator. http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=ISD1610BSY-ND
Here's the datasheet: http://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sheets/Nuvoton%20PDFs/ISD1600B%20Series.pdf. Just record the sample of your choice and play it back in a loop.

Did you look at these ones? http://translate.google.gl/translate?u= ... =&ie=UTF-8

I am going to use the old "playing card & a clothes pin" trick at the race in ohio.

Not very hi tech I know but super cool (at least when I was 7 yo)

[jsplifer]

Hmm, I'm with Liveforphysics on this one. I love the turbine whine, so maybe some kind of whistle on the spokes? if your motor doesn't have that TTGXP sound. You know that sound, the highvolatage high rpm sound. Like recumpance's high pitch ESC's... love that.

or a tire pump fillable air horn.

Check LadyAda's site and forums; there are a number of audio projects that could be adapted. Likely some folks there that could help doing it, too.

You have given me another inspiration !!

What about... A EDF mounted on a tube (extra noise through the windtunnel) and the output of the tube is connected to your controller !! (which also provides super coolling when hitting full throttle !)
FLASHSALE ITEMS : 11.34 + 7.05




don't know which cheapo controller i can add with this motor.

Has anybody a EDF soundclip? i'm currious what the sound would be like.
But if it's what i think it is, than it's a go! then i hit 2 flies in one smack (dutch saying)

[amberwolf]

googling "EDF soundclip" finds this:
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1119868
but the video with the sound has been deleted from youtube for some reason, by the user.

But a minute's further searching finds this:
and 4 minutes in or so is it flying around. Around 8:50 or so is a really good pass.

[fechter]

I don't know if you've ever heard my Vego running (there's a Utube video of it somewhere), but it sounds almost like a turbine. I think you'd get a very similar sound by tapping a speaker into the phase wires on a brushless motor.

As I mentioned in a thread the other day, I'd like my ebike to sound like a ghost busters proton pack when turned on and off

His soundboard chips are much cooler and can be looped or re-triggered. only i don't see on his website if it is possible to program it yourself .
It looks like you have to give your wishes to him and he wil program it for you. It wold be ncer when you can do that by yourself.

I would deliberately run myself under a car if I had to ride that more than about 30 seconds.

I used to have a rubber bulb klaxon on my old bike- that got peoples' attention! Like this but cheaper! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dragster-Lowrider-Bicycle-Bike-Bugle-Horn-/251042081839?pt=AU_Sport_Cycling_Bikes&hash=item3a73462c2f

But now we're in the electronic age, there's all sorts of weird and wonderful stuff out there- http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/6-Sounds-Ultra-loud-Bicycle-Bike-Electronic-Bell-Horn-Supervoice-Speaker-Siren-/290657639127?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item43ac8b9ad7. This one sounds good- even the button is "very comfortable and sensitive". Nice to know that the button is sensitive- you wouldn't want one that doesn't take into account your feelings.

Then there's this "High Qulity" Police siren... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/High-Qulity-100-Brand-New-6LED-4Sounds-Bicycle-Horn-Bell-Police-Car-Ligh-/280864830336?pt=AU_Sport_Cycling_Accessories&hash=item4164d93380
