Pop pop instead of zing zing

[nostroke]

I want my 2024 sport to sound like Toni's 4 stroke torquer since I've been inundated with his impossible antics on Instagram.  I love the one finger diaphragm clutch but to really get the feel of motor /flywheel inertia, I want a low frequency pop instead of the 'zing' sound which is mainly due to gear train noise. So I took a cheap 12VDC car alarm out of the trash and tapped it across two random AC motor phase leads, just for giggles. And predictably, it first smoked a little, probably the 50+ volts into 12 V circuit thing, no surprise. But then it kept working and would produce an ugly growly sound proportional to RPM.

I'm not an Electrical Engineer but no doubt someone with circuit design savvy could use this tiny phase lead signal to trigger a proper .WAV file of a single gas bike pop and make a scalable frequency output to a piezo or a speaker. Has anyone done this? I expect it could have its own little battery. Heh, maybe even BT into my hearing aids. Just dreaming but would love to hear if anyone has done anything along these lines?

 I was just digging thru old posts and saw a discussion we electric geeks had in 2013 with some interesting stuff in it. Now, 12 years down the road, I recently bought a 2024 EM Pure Sport. It has an awesome diaphragm style one finger hydraulic clutch. I'm learning why its important to mechanically decouple the motor for rapid stops and starts. And I love this bike. But I'm still hankering for a sound synthesizer. The gear whine of the EM isn't loud enough for good aural feedback of RPM which is sort of critical with this grabby clutch.

I posted this previously (above this post) but surprised that after 2 weeks and over 1k views no one seems to have any opinion one way or the other. But it seems like such a natural improvement for electric trials, am I wrong?

I didn't see the post until tonight.

You're probably right. I only ride IC trials bikes but the same applies about hearing the sounds of the motor being an important part of riding trials well. 

As far as electric trials bikes go, I have only ridden a clutchless EM and I could hear the groaning of the motor at low RPM quite well, but someone with poor hearing may have had difficulty. Do the modern EM bikes sound different to the original ones?

I have an opinion, but you're not going to like it.  

ONE OF THE BEST FEATURES OF ELECTRICS IS THAT THEY ARE QUIET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  See, all that hollering is annoying.

Yes, they are even quieter.
