Can’t 3d print exhaust components. However, I was wondering what various whistle tips inline would sound like. If each has a different size hole, perhaps they would have slightly different frequencies? The combination might be tie fighter’ish driving by.
…recalling the inspiration behind the TIE Fighters.“In World War II the super dive-bombers had an artificially created siren wail created by air ducts…They didn’t serve any purpose except to create this noise, which would terrify people.”
He turned to The Roots of Heaven, a 1958 adventure film…Burtt sampled the movie’s elephant noises and slowed them down, but then he hit upon the idea of mixing them with the sound of cars on wet pavement.
So by making a car sound like a tie fighter which sounds like a car+elephant, we’ve gone full circle.
I mean I don’t, that’s why I was suggesting one of those YouTubers should make one for the content. iirc StuffMadeHere has used metal deposition for some of his parts.
I think it would be an interesting fluid dynamics challenge to construct a whistle that creates the specific air pressure pattern to match the tie fighter sound.
I wonder if someone has already patented tailpipe whistles in general, or if designing for specific sounds would be a sufficient “improvement” to the concept. We could be rich!

Anyone know how the original sound was generated?
Oh? Why not? Is there a structural or chemical reason metal deposition wouldn’t hold up?

You have the capability to 3d print metal?
I would think the multi-whistle tips would be kinda near an elephant. Not sure how to make the car sound like a car.

Another relevant whistle is the Aztec death whistle. This YouTuber 3d prints plastic reproductions of it.
I have an Aztec death whistle, and that would scare the hell out of people. Might be fun as a slip-on attachment of some sort.
