Mach-E start up tones

[4parter]

Has anyone noticed that the three note start up melody is the love theme from Stanley Kubrick’s film Spartacus?

The three note chime has been used since about 2008 and is a major triad. It’s a pattern that is used in many types of music so you’re probably heard it before. On the Mach-E they switched the first two notes around to make it a bit different. The people at Ford that decide the chimes and sounds are versed in music theory and choose chords/sounds that are scientifically proven to be pleasing to the ear. The propulsion sound is an F chord, which I find interesting as well.
