The microcontroller with OBD2 interface decodes the turn signal on code and activates the sound generator. Samples can be relatively small 8 bit samples played at 8 KHz sample rate. The microcontroller would play a sample, delay, repeat the sample or delay when signaled that the turn signal is on. With this arrangement, the product would have a volume control and a sound select several position switch. Possible samples could be the “click” of a conventional turn signal, a more pleasant chime sound or possibly a harmonically rich unpleasant sound for the seriously hearing impaired. Any sampled sound is possible.
