I was trying to think whether I left something hanging from the car that would whistle like that but then I realized that I had just created a giant pan flute under the car. Ha Ha! The sound generator that hybrids will need in the future!

It goes straight across for now but when I get more coroplast, I will make the sides lower and the centre higher.
Get some white glue and a long, thin tube/syringe, and tune that puppy to a decently low frequency!

Then, you'll have BASS!
