A History of Listening Behind the Wheel
This book traces the full history of noise in and around cars, shows how we created auditory privacy in our cars, even though they were highly noisy things at the beginning of the twentieth century. It is about the sounds of car engines, tires, wipers, blinkers, warning signals, in-car audio systems and, ultimately, about how we became used to listen while driving.
