Lincoln

used members of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra to create alert chimes for its new

Aviator SUV

. Luxury manufacturers are always looking for more ways to increase the level of ambiance, and Lincoln went so far as to contract some of the best musicians in the world to create a more comfortable atmosphere.

In total, the musicians created six different alert chimes for 25 different alerts the

Aviator

could provide. The alert chimes fall into three different categories Lincoln uses for warnings: non-critical, soft-warning chimes and hard-warning chimes. They are all made using a blend of percussion instruments, violin and viola.

Lincoln

plans to expand the instrumental sounds across its entire lineup eventually.

These chimes will represent warnings for things like an open fuel door, unbuckled seat belt, the lowering of the power liftgate and plenty more. It’s not a bad day when leaving your headlights on or door open lead to a pleasant musical sound coming from your speakers. All the sounds seem appropriate for their particular functions, and do sound more pleasing than the normal alerts.

Lincoln says the musicians initially came up with 125 different sound options before they narrowed it down to just six. While it might feel a bit gimmicky at face value, those alert sounds are something we’ve all sworn at in frustration from time to time. We certainly won’t mind a calming sound playing versus an annoying beeping next time we turn a car on without fastening our seat belt right away.

The Aviator with these warning sounds will be revealed at the

LA Auto Show

at the end of the month as well. It was originally shown as a close-to-production-looking

concept car

at the

NY Auto Show

earlier this year. All the official production details will be coming in LA. We’ll be there in-person to tell you if these new musical chimes are a win.
