Invention: Silent Automobile Horn

The most obnoxious place in the world is a busy Manhattan intersection.  HONK! HONK!  If you know of a more obnoxious place, please tell me and I will disagree with you.  This is one of the those rare moments that movies are exactly like real life.  Another time I can think of is when that lady turns from a mannequin into a real person in the movie Mannequin, because I believe this happens.

I hate noise.  Especially sudden noise.  HONK!  Life has enough distractions that when I finally experience a moment where one thought can organically flow into another, and suddenly and finally that one last riddle of life is at my fingertip—HONK! HONK! HONK!  What?

So, imagine you’ve got a special speaker in your car, only used for one purpose: hearing other horns.  And when you push your own horn a signal is sent out to a receiver in all nearby vehicles, triggering their own horn speaker.  Every car has the speaker, and every car has a receiver/transmitter.  This way, drivers can honk at each other all day long, but us pacifistic pedestrians can walk down the street in peace.

Maybe you’d also need a special (regular) horn that actually makes noise so pedestrians can hear it, in case of emergency…but, I’d rather risk it.
