Can't 3d print exhaust components. However, I was wondering what various whistle tips inline would sound like. If each has a different size hole, perhaps they would have slightly different frequencies? The combination might be tie fighter'ish driving by.
Anyone know how the original sound was generated?
Oh? Why not? Is there a structural or chemical reason metal deposition wouldn't hold up?
According to this article
So by making a car sound like a tie fighter which sounds like a car+elephant, we've gone full circle.
You have the capability to 3d print metal?
I would think the multi-whistle tips would be kinda near an elephant. Not sure how to make the car sound like a car.
I mean I don't, that's why I was suggesting one of those YouTubers should make one for the content. iirc StuffMadeHere has used metal deposition for some of his parts.
I think it would be an interesting fluid dynamics challenge to construct a whistle that creates the specific air pressure pattern to match the tie fighter sound.
Another relevant whistle is the Aztec death whistle. This YouTuber 3d prints plastic reproductions of it.
I have an Aztec death whistle, and that would scare the hell out of people. Might be fun as a slip-on attachment of some sort.
I wonder if someone has already patented tailpipe whistles in general, or if designing for specific sounds would be a sufficient "improvement" to the concept. We could be rich!
