So the coolest thing happened to me on the way to the store today, my ‘22 Mazda 3 hatch’s exhaust note harmonized with the note an NA Miata some dude in the lane beside and about one car length behind me was driving! I was in sport mode and just cruising down this 1.5 mile straight and all of a sudden there was this incredible sound resonating through out the car. It only lasted for a few seconds and I know they harmonized because whenever one of us would speed up or slow down a little the sound would stop and then start when we crossed the right distance from each other.

I mean I understand the physics around acoustic harmonics but experiencing that in the real world is next level, I doubt if I’ll ever experience something like that again but it was cool while it lasted!

    I’d never be able to tell because I always have my stereo blasting.

      I usually do but it’s like 5min to the grocery store and I didn’t bother plugging my phone in.

        FLAC via USB drive doesn’t have that problem. ;)

        I haven’t plugged my phone into my car in a couple years.

          Neat, but I’ve got a dashcam in one usb port and my charging cable in the other so I don’t easily have a free usb port as I am not willing to give up either of those.

            That is one annoying thing, there should be at least 4 USB ports.
