Many of us have waited behind people walking in the middle of the parking lot aisle, unaware they are blocking a silent car behind them.
One hates to honk and startle them; they may stop and turn around. Same thing goes for a strange noise, however entertaining.
So you really want a familiar noise associated with a moving car, so they will simply move sideways without even looking at you.
Thus my criteria:
An Untested Example
Improve it. Replace it. We need a recipe.

Thus my criteria:
- A moving car sound (say, tire noise; an engine sound could come from a parked car); nothing urgent or entertaining
- Ability to trigger without removing hands from steering wheel (no new knobs or buttons)
- Turns itself off in two seconds
- Compatible with Tesla firmware of the future.
An Untested Example
- Record studded snow tire sound at low speed. Alternatively, driving over gravel. Muffle after two seconds.
- Mount (Frunk? Nose cone?) a musical doorbell that has a USB port for audio files.
- Tap the high beam wire for the button push. (Might need a series capacitor for when the high beams remain on.)
Improve it. Replace it. We need a recipe.
