Musical Road- Lancaster, CA
Вставка

- Dashcam video as I drove on the Musical Road in Lancaster, CA. The road has grooves or rumble strips engineered so that when you drive over them, they produce the sound of music under your tires. This tune is apparently from a portion of the William Tell Overture, the theme song for the Lone Ranger.
It's a bit of a stretch, but you can kind of hear it. And regardless, it's pretty cool. One of the few roads of its type in the world.
they need to tune that thing.
@Kanga Roo you have to go 100hp
It’s just old
@@geelee3370 100mph you mean?
nah doesn't make much of a difference
Lol
@@georgeforeman4333 actually it was a miscalculation with the distance between each hump
They should hire the hungarians who make an actual musical Road in tune..
And only requires one wheel
And has road marks leading up to it with musical notes
Yes, their version is incomparably better :)
Yea
The concept of being "in tune" is colonizer shit.
U saw it too
0:43 playback speed - 2x
1.75 is a little better
ahhhh there we go
Lydia Bunszel lmao that doesn’t help at all. Its still just as gross sounding just faster
I watch most videos at 2x
sounds like a trance music!
I remember hearing about this. The reason it sounds f*cked is because when the contractors got instructions for the project, they were given a distance between each little bump to get the right pitch. What they didn't get, was instructions clarifying that this distance was to be measured from the center of each bump, not the edge. So they're all spaced slightly further apart than they should be
They should’ve hired carpenters to do the job. Talkin‘ ‘bout 16“OC here.
Mmm yes Tom Scott
@@cliveconrad6460 Ah yes, a man of culture
@@AxeAR ah yes, a man of (culture, but) uncreative comments
I mean its from just being worn down over the years but sure that sounds more sciency.
Sounds better at 100

The tempo would be right, yes. The tunes and intervals will still be wrong though.
No.
Best is like 320 kmh
No 230
5000000km per hour
your right. Put the video 2x
For those still wondering, the road had a construction error meaning every note got distorted by a constant amount. Tom Scott has a very good video on it.
I'd be more surprised if Tom Scott hadn't done a video of it.
@@Petrolosis Fr man.
@@Petrolosis Tom Scott is a legend.
Incorrect. Each space between each line was increased by a constant amount. The higher notes have a higher frequency, therefore distorted by a higher amount.
@@thejam7129 incorrect
Drive on it backwards now!
herpderpmonkey SATAN!
herpderpmonkey It says "Paul is dead" when you drive over it backwards
Cory Smart did you watch the top gear episode
herpderpmonkey 😂😂😂
Nice way to collide and die
I am sorry, but I don't mean to be a party pooper, but that was out of tune.
Philip Royd They built an old one, then the residents complained

Philip Royd its old as hell and hundreds of thousands of cars have ridden over it
Akkiera it was out of tune from day one... they messed up when making it.
They fucked twice on it lol
Imagine it’s like 2 AM and you’re driving in the dark then all of a sudden you hear this
This happened to my ex lmao he called me thinking he was hallucinating
My wife's dad and his wife live in the area, and I've been over that road as well on the way to the airport (he used to own a plane out there). Kinda sad they couldn't calculate a recognizable Western scale for this piece. It's like Rossini was having a really bad day, in a minor key, with instruments out of tune. Oh, well - it's amusing at least.
Greg Meece do you know the cross streets
Anything is better than nothing. Imagine having something like this on the 405 Freeway.
It very much is poorly tuned. What happened was when they were building the road, they got the calculations for the gaps wrong.
@@VestedUTuber it wasn't the calculations that were wrong there was just confusion during construction by the crew and they didn't space then correctly
@@RougeDeBlah
That's by definition a mistake in the calculations.
"If I reverse, will it play a message from the devil?"

........
Could make a trap song out of this.
DragonHuman00 darude sandstorm musical road 😂😂
I drove too fast and it sounded like Rubberman by TI
*ah.... Ah ah*
Supposed to sound like
"William Tell Overture" by Rossini
that’s what i was thinking i was gonna sample
It sounds like jingle bells at start
I thought so too. I had to play it at 2x speed to hear what it was actually supposed to be
That would be a bad idea, making the road relevant only on winter lmao
It sounds nothing like jingle bells
@@kristupas_6955 the first six notes do. Also, at 55mph it doesn't sound anything like the song it's supposed to sound like either for that matter.
It’s supposed to be that horse song idk what it’s called but it’s recognizable
But I probably won't.
Juan Blanco I am so pissed
I hate this comment
Probably won't what?
John Doe it’s apart of the video.
@@joebidenofficialpotus Save me some sugar, this won't take long. I won't ask to stay the night, I won't sing you no song
Who else got recommended this after watching the one from Hungary?
I searched for it
"What does it sound like at 80 mph?"
It sounds like police sirens. ;-)
It sounds so creepy but at the same time these roads are so cool
they made a small but impactful blunder when building it, Tom scott made a great video about it
Hmm..seems to be a lot of Tom Scotts.
“What instrument do you play?”
*Me:* “R O A D”
Ohhh I caaaaaaant. I’m kind of obsessed with this road and have heard it several times, but every single time I get the creeps on a scale I didn’t even know existed.
watch the video about the one in hungary if you find these roads cool
It sounds like its played in minor and not in major lol
More like some sort of Klezmer scale.
I noticed that it went like G#, A, C, C#, E-flat, E, F#, G#, slowly increasing one note in pitch to A, A#, C#, D, E, F, G, A.
@@intothevoid5074 y tho
@@de7io407 I was just pointing out something I noticed about the scale used in the Lancaster musical road.
@@intothevoid5074 ah yes it’s the guy with perfect pitch
If my nightmares had a theme song:
Cop: You're speeding
Also cop: "The music sounds great! Keep it up!"
7 years later and it’s still awesome !
That's nothing, In India we've got body massaging roads.
haha you mean the train tracks 😂 because If yes I saw that on german TV once lol
It’s free abortion for some. :/
It’s quite sad tbh
@@jusayalex u being serious? If so, someone needs to report on this..
hahahaha good one mate
Wait I don’t get it... is it because the roads are bumpy and cracked which creates vibration to “massage” or is there too many people in the road that cars just drive over their bodies...
It would be funny if a road that was 50 mph, played the song “I can’t drive 55” by Sammy Hagar.
The thing is, when searching for the right frequency, the engineers accounted for the space in between the little bumps, but not for the size of the bumps themselves. Therefore, if it was shrunk to a 8th of a mile instead of a quarter, or if the speed was about 100mph, it should sound as intended lol a 12 year old failure
The notes are out of tune. Why didn't musicians make this road?
ua-cam.com/video/Ef93WmlEho0/v-deo.html
The problem was actually due to the miscommunication between a mathematician and the engineers who built it. We can guess which ones fucked up...
I think if he drove faster it would've sounded better.
TheMadMan Gaming It wouldn't have. It would have been exactly the same, except in a different key and faster.
Cameron Pearce play the video at x2 speed lmao. If he drove 100 mph it would've sounded like this.
Tom Scott did a video of this and there essentially was a mix-up in communication. The grooves should be 4" apart center-to-center but instead, they are 4" apart edge-to-edge.
We used to go over it every week with the kids until they all grew up and left home🥰
Kids are gone now I can come over
Jk
The beginning sounds like jingle bell
I knew I wasn’t alone and heard the same thing
That’s what I call a cursed melody
Gentlemen. As you see, they have cut grooves in the road here, so when your tyres drive over them, they make a noise.
They play a note.
This road... is MUSICAL.
Hey! I'm a linkin park fan too!
It sounds nothing like William Tell Overture (Which is what it is supposed to be of).
Play it at 2X speed
@@CindyB14 it still sounds like shit, THANK YOU DEMOCRATS!
Chinese william tell song
@@bpapao it has the tune tho
@@bpapao are you just looking at things you don’t like and screaming “DEMOCRATS”? This was Honda’s fault, lol
Best I've heard. Simply Amazing!
William Tell Overture: minor key edition.
This sounds like something that Tiahra Nelson would have to laugh off camera for and then say “thank you!!”
Went there yesterday lmao I though I was going crazy
lol
I love this film. Thank you so much for posting.
Been there. It is a wonderful thing
This is by Apollo park in Lancaster
Fallout Boy im going there today also i love fallout
Vault Boy yeah I've been on the musical road many times on my way to Apollo park and Apollo park is so beautiful too!
i remember doing this so many times. Im tempted to go back to Lancaster and do 120mph on it.
Thank you for sharing.
Lmao I laughed so hard when we went over it, glad people posted videos of it so I can laugh again
"I'm tempted to try 80 miles /h to see what it would sound like but I probably won't"
That day, he got a speeding ticket.
They. Messed the road up can’t remember exactly but I’m pretty sure they measured from the back side of one groove to the front of another where it should’ve been from back to back or something like that but either way it is messed up and just embodies the state of California
I saw that one in a commercial many years ago, I just didn't know where it was. That's pretty cool.
Lived in Palmdale for a year, I did not know about this haha
Change the speed to 2. Thank me later
Thanks!
Thanks!!!
Thanks means hed be going a bit over 100
Thanks
except the pitch would be higher
"But I probably wont" we all know he has.. c'mon lmao
7 years later? I want to drive there just to relax. ✌️🎉
At the end! That was the biggest let down! I was so excited to hear this at 80mph
Speed up the video! It's definitely not as exciting, but at 2x speed it sounds more like it's supposed to (:
This is fun. Always puts a smile on everyone’s face in the car no matter how much people talk about it having flaws 🤗
Aqui no Brasil, também temos... Imensos buracos na maiorias das estradas que fazem os pneus cantarem, só que de tanto frear... 😅
I remember thinking about this yrs ago, that companies should do this if they had a jingle that was recognised.. but then youtube started getting adds.. and we don't want our roads bombarded with adds..
The road was built for a Honda Civic commercial. The City decided to keep it. Yes, it's a car jingle.
Imagine making a trip with this all the way long
I didnt recognize the song, until I put the video on 2x speed.
0:44
I remember this road I used to drive it by all the time when I was little
This is super cool!
"Paul McCartney is dead because he wasn't wearing any shoes or socks!!"
PrinceNaim wtf
@@j6282 it's a Top gear reference for when Jeremy Clarkson drove backwards on that musical road.
I went there every day for my mom's flight school
I live here and every day I almost hear this😆
It’s like so fun going on it😆
To play it like Rossini I think you should cross it at least at 120 mph (200 km/h)!!
0:43 x2 speed it’s the check-a-trade song!
Ayy it’s the William Tell Overture aka the Lone Ranger theme
How cool is that
Could use some tuning
It would be California to waste the tax dollars on this and have it turn out so badly.
On est d'accord, on est tous là grâce à Sofyan.
Ooh my god why haven't I discovered this until now?! I think that was meant to be the William tell overture 🤣
so many people drive on that road,and the bumps ware out,so i imagine it was in perfect tune when it was first made
believe me, it wasn't
Nope, they miscalculated
Here in Brazil we found that natural occurring holes makes dubstep
Un original
@@liljuicebox5789 ur adopted
Thing sounds like a mirror image of the opening of the William Tell Overture
Wow, it sounds more like a procession than an overture.
I might not be an open hearted audiophile but the music sounds ... somewhat false. But interesting, anyway :)
Put sounds better at 250 mph
Never knew a road could crack me up
I got so happy for a second but then I looked at the title because there's two Lancasters that I know of
This is by far one of the biggest wastes of anyone's time. Lol Sometimes, I'll just randomly think about how disappointing this thing is, like "jeez, some people drive an hour, hour-thirty for this thing and it's the saddest sounding thing ever."
Cimer Sofyan mdr
Hehe
I live here and been over it many times
My Grandson Loved it
I think the size of the tires determines the tone or pitch of the sound. Small car tires spin faster than truck tires, so it'll sound way different depending on your vehicle
The one on Rt 66 east of Alburquerque is better than the one in Lancaster.
COOL. Is that the west bound road years-back they had to put up Message Sign saying The Cow is OK ? God damn funny. He did look.relaxed in his pond... many thought not !!@
This sounds like it might play when it's a fight scene in an action movie, in slow-moans something is about to blow up and ppl need to look or get ready to cover from it... 😂
Aliens: I wonder if there are other forms of intelligent li...
Humans: 0:45
Hearing this immediately after hearing(seeing/viewing video) the one at Hungary you would be like "Uh ..hm.. This ain't walking...😑😑😏"..
That’s pretty cool
Lancaster resident all my life - For anyone wondering - they had a version of this a few miles away from this one that was actually perfect at 55 mph but it was next to a neighborhood that hated it. Long story short this one was built wonky and the only way to get the proper result is to go about 90!
No way bro. The road still sucks. Lancaster resident 48 years here. 🤠
It’s designed to work at 45 mph, no more, no less, and requires one to slow down, pay more attention. Also, I see that Lancaster hasn’t grown a lick since I lived there in 1974 - same roads to nowhere and false left turns
Really? It has grown since I moved here in 1995. Just not the crowds of the San Fernando Valley that I left behind.
This sucks compared to the one in Hungary
Feel free not to use that road
65 works great. The pitch and tempo are right on
I remember the first time going over that because there is a duck park that is arround that area, but other than this and the planes there really is'nt much in Lancaster or Palmdale.
That sounds cool
This is my favorite RuneScape soundtrack
Cool. I need to check it out
its because they didn't consider that the grooves in the road count for distance as well so the spacing of the grooves is off. the measured the grooves from end to end, not center to center
