Why Do Watering Trucks Play Music While Sprinkling Water?
2 Answers
Watering trucks play music during the sprinkling process to alert pedestrians and vehicles to avoid in time and to relieve the mood of pedestrians and drivers. The specific related introductions are as follows: Alerting Pedestrians and Vehicles to Avoid in Time: Since honking is prohibited in many urban road areas, watering trucks remind pedestrians and vehicles to avoid by playing music. Relieving the Mood of Pedestrians and Drivers: The songs played by watering trucks are usually cheerful and soothing, which can help pedestrians and drivers relax and relieve stress in hot weather. Extended Information: The Functions of Watering Trucks: Watering trucks are suitable for various road flushing, trees, green belts, lawn greening, road and construction site operations in factories and mines, and high-rise building cleaning. They have functions such as sprinkling water, dust suppression, high and low position spraying, pesticide spraying, and guardrail flushing, as well as water transportation, drainage, and emergency firefighting. Basic Components: The basic components of Dongfeng watering trucks include anti-rust tank bodies, power take-offs, drive shafts, dedicated self-priming sprinkling pumps, pipeline networks, sprinkling outlets, working platforms, and second-class chassis.
I've been driving a sprinkler truck for over ten years, and the core purpose of playing music is for safety warnings. When water sprays out, it can easily splash onto pedestrians or vehicles, leading to accidents. The music can be heard from far away, reminding people to avoid it in time and reducing the risk of accidents. This practice isn't just used by sprinkler trucks; in cities, cleaning trucks and maintenance vehicles also do the same, forming a unified warning system. The music volume is controlled at a moderate level, and classic old songs or simple melodies are chosen, making them easy to recognize without disturbing the public. For me, driving all day can be monotonous for the driver, and music helps relieve stress, maintain focus, and prevent fatigue driving. Over time, the public has become accustomed to it, making social coordination more efficient. Safety always comes first, and this design is low-cost yet highly effective.
