While I chose sound effects that match the theme of the car, you can play ANY sounds you like, a song, a train horn, a recording of your own voice, a line from a movie, ANYTHING you want!

The volume on the project is adjustable. I had it set as I felt was an appropriate volume for pedestrians (Moms and Kids) who were on the sidewalk near the car, or in a parking lot. You may want to adjust the volume higher or lower, depending on how you plan to use the sounds.

Bonus points for anyone who can identify which video game some of the cow sound effects came from and mentioning it in the comments!
