My 2018 Honda Clarity makes a really cheesy synthetic new-age sounding "hum" noise at low speed. I wish Honda would put out a software update to make the noise user-selectable.
The intro to "The Final Countdown" in a continuous loop would be swell.

Coconut noise mp3 from Monty Python is already being deployed in Tesla software based on recent decompiling.
I'm not sure that "coconut noises" would be allowed, however, as the rules require continuous tones (modulated according to speed and acceleration) that must be recognisable as an engine noise.
Perhaps the coconut noise will be a manually-activated alert/horn feature rather than the mandatory pedestrian warning sound.
