So this December has been unusually warm here in NE. The whole past week temperature was in the 60ies and today it was in the 70ies! My wife and I went to a resort in PA for a weekend getaway, and had a lot of fun which included some spirited driving. However this time I encountered something that really surprised me.
There is a stretch of route 402 that was recently repaved, I'd say maybe 15 miles long, and when I was driving on this stretch my tires were playing music! I've heard of musical roads before, where they score the road surface in such way that when tires roll on them, they create noise that resembles musical instruments, but I didn't know they had one in PA.
I couldn't find any information about it on google, and wikipedia doesn't mention anything about it either - but although subtle, the musical sound was definitely there. At first I kind of brushed it off, thinking I was hearing things, but it became more and more obvious as we drove on. After the newer stretch of this road ended, and we hit the old pavement, the music stopped.
