My Singalonga Car

The car I drive to work in is not particularly old, but it has been around the block and consequently has a few loose bits on it. Lately I’ve discovered that, if you crank the music up (which I often do in the mornings) it causes each of these loose bits to resonate, sometimes fairly loudly, at certain bass frequencies.

For example, the rattly bit in the driver’s door has particular issues with bottom E, while the wobbly bit in the glove compartment vibrates somewhere around F# and whatever’s slack under the passenger seat buzzes when it hears B.

Therefore if I play any song in the key of E or C#min (like She Said by Longpigs or And I Love Her by The Beatles), it sounds like I’m sharing my journey with a swarm of angry bees.
