I wrote before about the accursed "beep beep" that big machines make when they back up -- and even a few cars. There is an answer to it, and that answer has just come out of patent. So what can we do to ban the beep and make safer systems that don't destroy the peace and quiet of the air?

Surely this article is way out of date. I contract as a courier in Sydney and other sounds are now on most new vans and truck.

Much less noise than a BEEP too.

Sadly, in other parts of the world, beep-beep is still common.
