Fact of the Day: A road in Hungary plays a song if you drive at the right speed

G'day, members! Here’s a fascinating fact to start your morning: Did you know there’s a road in Hungary that plays a folk song through your car’s tires?

If you drive at just the right speed (80 km/h) along a stretch of Road 37 between Gesztely and Szerencs, the ridges in the asphalt play 'Érik a szőlő' (The grapes are getting ripe), a traditional Hungarian tune. It’s like the road itself is singing you a melody!

Isn't that fascinating? Do you think Aussie roads should do something similar? What song do you think would be perfect for it?

Good thing it's only farmland, it would drive locals crazy 🤪
 
A bit like the bridge in Melbourne, it plays aboriginal music as you walk over it. When we went over it, about one in the morning without another person in sight, it scared me half to death lol

Being in Melbourne ( Naarm, if you are that way inclined), you were lucky it wasn't a welcome to country you were subjected to
 
We already have singing roads!!! It is also the sound of tyres - but not musicial. The sound is when your tyres keeping hitting potholes one after another - more of a thump, thump, thump!!!!!

It was quite soothing, once I realised we weren’t in and danger or being followed
 
It's got to be Waltzing Matilda.

So true. Especially on the Bruce H'way once one leves the Gympie bypass. Further north one goes the worse it gets.

Let's celebrate potholes! Unity achieved on all Aussie roads at once!
