Sound generator

I have been doing some searching and so far, I have not been able to find any informatiion about the sound generator Dave S. talked about at the Midwest rally. I have found numerous articles mentioning a generator designed by Brabus but nothing on where to get one or what sounds are available. Anyone have any idea??

I recall seeing one on one of those car shows like "Pimp my ride" but still can't find any info.

The sound generators are for the Electric version which is not yet available in the US.

Here's a site: Tesla Roadster Now Available With Warp Drive | Autopia | Wired.com

Or google, lotus car sound generator

Lotus today unveiled technology for electric and hybrid automobiles that mimics the sound of an internal combustion engine to alert pedestrians to the vehicles' presence.

Because Lotus hasn't yet unveiled a hybrid of its own, the British automaker demonstrates the technology using a Toyota Prius.
