Honda's singing road?

This little stretch of road in Lancaster California plays music as your vehicles tires move over carefully grooves in the road. Honda paved the road with these grooves to help market the Civic. Apparently it sounds much better in a Honda Civic. Listen to the first video which is not in a Civic and the 2nd which is. The tune is to the William Tell Overture although you may have a hard time telling from the quality of this recording. The story goes that local residents are petitioning for the road to be repaved, because they can't stand the noise.
