Designing for sound makes exactly as much sense as designing a pretty robot. We can count on 1114 to not design for sound just as much as they don't design for pretty, and for the same reasons. Think about all of the distinctive, even identifying, machine noises you've heard:
- A Harley's pa-thut pa-thut in idle.
- A classic VW Beetle's trilled purr (copied by George Jetson's space car about an octave up)
- The throaty roar of a classic Mustang
- The solid thunk of a steel car door
- The heartbeat of a grandfather clock
- Practically every machine in the Star Wars universe
