Well this seems like a novel idea! In Namata Japan officials have come up with a unique way to attract more people to an isolated tourist area. This previously uneventful trip through the mountains, now has 170 meters worth of ridges that cause your tires to hum a tune as you drive over them. Signs suggest drivers maintain 50kph (31mph) for proper pitch and rhythm, which times the length of the tune at 12.7 seconds.
