I posited that 'disappat[ing] the exhaust without slowing it' might achieve that. The only analog I can recall is a trumpet mute.

Now I've moved on to wonder about cymatics.

edit: on the Beetle I found the model but not the .MTL file so it lost the colors and textures. I've cut away the back window and deck lid and mocked up the Coanda nozzle, but now it seems I need to master Curve to Mesh operations to move forward.

I retract any and all attribution. That's easier than going back over everything from Permalink #25 and onward.

Could one combine cymatics and the Tesla one-way valve? Vary the size and spacing of the convolutions to address a wide[r] range of frequency?
