A musical road is a road, or section of a road, which when driven over causes a tactile vibration and audible rumbling that can be felt through the wheels and body of the vehicle. This rumbling is heard within the car as well as the surrounding area, in the form of a musical tune.[1] Musical roads are known to exist in Hungary, Japan, South Korea, the United States, China, Iran,[2] Taiwan,[3] Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates, and Argentina.[4] In the past, they could be found in France, Denmark, and the Netherlands as well.

Therefore, strips 2.4 in (61 mm) apart will produce an E note in a vehicle travelling at 45 mph (72 km/h).[5] Long before musical roads were being constructed, an earlier concept known as a Rumble strip, were used since the 1950s to warn inattentive drivers of potential danger.
