Vauxhall, GM’s UK outpost, recently commissioned a study regarding singing in the car. Â The results? Â In-car acoustics are surprisingly excellent, indicating that the best place for improving your vocal ability is while you’re driving.
Singing through your downtown congestion (not nasal congestion; traffic) also helps relieve stress. Â Along with Arup Acoustics, Vauxhall discovered that a roof-up convertible or windows-up car helps reflect sound, especially when the vocals are directed forward. Â When an individual’s voice starts blasting from window to window to window, the sound amplifies. Â Amplified sound instills confidence in the singer, encouraging even greater effort. Â
This begs the question: which brand of vehicle hosts the greatest drivers-cum-singers? Â Any nominees? Â With no Vauxhall’s available in North America, does this mean the Saturn Astra is the singer’s choice?
