Tesla Will Allow Users to Easily Change the Sound of Their Car's Horn

— October 8, 2019 — Autos
Tesla will now let customers change the sound of their car's horn. The announcement comes from the company's CEO, Elon Musk, who stated that in the near future Tesla owners will be able to alter the sound of their car's horn, as well as the sound of the vehicle when moving at low speeds. Musk also stated that consideration will be made to allow customers to add their own custom sound.

Elon Musk did not provide a full list of potentially available sounds, however, the CEO did list some of the sounds that will be available. Included in the list were sounds like goat bleats, the wind, and most notably coconut noises from the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

3. Individualized Brand Identity - Offering customization options to fit a brand's identity can increase customer satisfaction while also creating opportunities for companies to market themselves in new and distinctive ways.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive - This trend in customizable car sounds represents an opportunity for automotive companies, both large and small, to offer distinctive options to customers and to improve customer loyalty.
2. Entertainment - Companies in the entertainment industry can offer creative and unique sounds to further engage customers with their favorite franchises or themes.
3. Technology - This innovation represents a way for technology companies to offer customization options beyond the standard settings while also boundary pushing the potential uses of sound technology.
