    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.

      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.

      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.

          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!
