Save the Bog Frog - We already saved the Owl....

[LivingInKaos]

Just a fun post to see what others feel the top two lock sounds they would like to have. (Rivian's told us in the past that Gen 1 is limited in sound slots, so 2 for normal use and one for special modes) Obviously we wouldn't want the Jingle Bells year round... or would you???

My two choices would be the Owl and the Bog Frog. Keep the day/night setting and Frog day, Owl night. We've had the Blue Bird since the beginning - I'd be ok retiring it for now. I don't mind rotating these sounds a little each year.

What would be your top two choices from the non-specific sounds we've had?

Blue Bird
Wolf
Crow
Owl
Bog Frog

(If I'm missing one, let me know and I'll add it to this list - having a tough Monday )

I'm going to be exceptionally disappointed if the R2 doesn't get some kind of R2D2 sounds next year.

I miss the wolf.

Sounds

I like the farting option. I can see the potential uses right after leaving my favourite mexican restaurant.

Ha, while fun, I don't see that happening until they allow recording/uploading your own sound - which will never be a possibility for Gen 1

The only one missing from your list is the organ sound, which was underrated IMO. It actually scared old ladies loading groceries next to my truck.

I didn't have my truck in time to use the Wolf but I bet it was great. I use the Owl at all times..

I would also like to get the following:

• Honey Badger
• Chupacabra
• Bigfoot
• New Jersey Devil
• Mothman
• Dolphin
• Howler monkey
• Squirrels fighting

The organ was the Dracula thing - that's too Halloween imo, but ?

I have encountered wild organs in the Rocky Mountains that I would not want to cross paths with again.

HA, they make so many sounds it would be a 10min lock sound ....

I like the owl and bull frog ones. I meant bog frog.

Sorry to derail - I just want the *red* interior lighting year round - its amazing that this seems to be gated for seasonal use, when its the one somewhat legitimate color to use for night driving.


But while I'm here +1 on team frog - it's actually an interesting/unique noise that carries reasonably well in a busy car park - I'd rock it year round for sure.

I don't see why they can't keep the holiday locking sound on permanently since they allowed it for two weeks for halloween. So why not just leave that extra sound there? And then in a year, change it to whatever new lock sound, if in fact we only have two possible "permanent" lock sounds (bird, owl) and a special sound (frog).

I talked with Erik Glaser (head of UX design) last year before Halloween about the colors specifically. He told me that they saw value in keeping the brilliant colors back for special themes and possibly as another source for revenue stream - like buying a special theme pack or something. So, that's likely not to happen.
