The streets can sing when the cars go by
One of the purposes of street singing, or street music, is to help warn drivers, get them to focus on driving, and reduce accidents.
This particular road, every time the car rolls over, creates a kind of vibration due to road contact, accompanied by a sound that can be heard through the wheels and body of the car. Sound can be heard in the car as well as outside, in the form of musical notes.
Each note is played by a different distance from the ridges, or grooves. For example, the Mi note requires a frequency of about 330 vibrations per second. The 61 mm road now emits a Mi note when a vehicle traveling at 72 km/h passes – this is also the recommended speed for drivers who want to listen to music on this road.
