Bionic sound effects

Bruce, sorry if it seems that a commercial note has been introduced into the forum, but no endorsement of any Select Comfort product is implied. No pic of the Bionic Woman with the Sleep Number Bed could be found, but the image does show the bionic controls, and the "Firmer" and "Softer" labels for the two halves of the mattress suggest dramatic bionic stereo effects. There could be simultaneous ascending and descending effects--a bionic "Chopsticks," if you will.

Ol' Blue Bionic Eyes is back!

SW, the Jetson's car has a great sound! (Great theme song for the show, too; note nonbionic "Chopsticks" as "Jane, His Wife" theme [which always seemed like an insult, though, after the swanky "Daughter Judy" music].) The Jetson's engine sounded like a cross between a purr and a percolator. Maybe a speeded-up version of the sound of that Model T flying on Flubber!

Much cooler sound effect than any on Star Trek. Could you see the Enterprise racing across the screen, and instead of that bland "swoosh," we'd get the Jetson's burble? Maybe the Flubber jalopy's gurgle for the Enterprise's shuttlecraft.

"Gurgle-gurgle *wheeze* splutter bubble-bubble *sproing* gurgle . . ."
