  3. Auto-Tone — Twenty Thousand Hertz - The stories behind the world’s most recognizable and interesting sounds.

    The sound of a roaring combustion engine is a fixture of modern life. But

    as electric vehicles become more and more common, these mechanical sounds

    will gradually be replaced with artificial tones that have been designed

    from scratch. And once self-driving cars start to take over, there will be

    an even bigger need for creative and intuitive sound design. In this

    episode, we explore the future of car sounds with Audio UX Co-Founder

    Dexter Garcia and Creative Consultant/Futurist John LePore.
