Music path: Here you will play music with your own car

Who would have thought that a day of traffic would become an instrument! If you don't believe it, experience the music path in Japan right away.

Imagine, you have to sit on the car for a long time, the music in the phone listens to and sounds again and again ten times, the feeling of boredom must be known. So if possible, why not try to "change the wind" a bit with the super fun music path in Japan?

In this country, there are up to 4 roads that can sing in turn: Hokkaido, Wakayama, Shizuoka and Gunma.

The result is too magical, but the principle of playing music is not complicated. Specifically, the road surface will be made of small grooves, and similar to the car making sound when going through bumpy or rough places, these continuous slotting lines on the road surface will create each tone. when vehicles pass.

Road surfaces will be created with small grooves.

Each musical segment in Japan is between 175 and 200 meters long and contains thousands of small tracks separated by a certain distance, usually in the range of 6-12mm.

The closer the groove is to each other, the higher the volume of the music emitted and vice versa. Therefore, high notes or low notes create musical melodies depending on the depth and distance between the notches.

The closer the groove is to each other, the higher the volume of the music emitted and vice versa.

However, the speed of new vehicles is the key to deciding the music you hear. To enjoy the most perfect melody, the car needs to close the glass door and go at a speed of 45km / h. Driving faster than this limit, the sound you hear will be no different from fast rewind.

In addition to signs that are about to enter the music road, the nearby pavement is also painted with eye-catching color notes. And the grooves are only in one lane, so the driver can choose between listening to music or not.

This idea first appeared in the country. The sun rises after a man named Shizuo Shinoda heard the sound coming from the streaks on the road that he had accidentally left before driving the excavator.

The Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute later relied on this discovery by Shinoda to produce a blueprint and formally create the first musical path in Japan in 2007.

However, the surprise here is that the "father" of this initiative turned out to be not Japanese people.

The first music path in the world is made by two Danish artists.

The first music path in the world was made by two Danish artists in October 1995. Called Asphaltophone, this street also has the principle of playing music similar to the current road in Japan.
