Chevy Volt Getting Trek-like Sound Effects?

Please tell me the doors on the Chevy Volt are not going to make that “whoosh” sound like the doors on the Starship Enterprise. I’m not saying it would be a bad thing. I am just saying that a car that makes Star Trek sounds almost guarantees you’ll remain a virgin for as long as you own the car. Hey, put that in the warranty!

Frank Weber, General Motors E-Flex vehicle line executive, called the Volt's sound "highly technical" and compared it to "when on Spaceship [sic] Enterprise you hear the doors close, or use the transporter." In an interview published on the Volt-specific Web site gm-volt.com, Weber said the Volt's sound will "have no relation at all to a combustion engine" and will be "highly pleasing, almost imperceptible."
