“Apple’s top-secret Sunnyvale, Calif., automotive testing facility has been the source of loud ‘motor noises’ late at night that irked at least one nearby neighbor,” Neil Hughes reports for AppleInsider.
“A resident who lives near Apple’s automotive campus in Sunnyvale issued a complaint to city officials last year over concern about noise coming from the property,” Hughes reports. “Major renovations at the Apple-occupied site have been in the works, including the addition of an ‘auto work area’ and a ‘repair garage,’ AppleInsider was first to reveal last March.”
Hughes reports, “Whether the sounds were construction or something else remains unknown, as Apple has gone to great lengths to conceal what it is doing at the property.”

MacDailyNews Take: Has to be construction sounds since advanced, market-disrupting fuel cell engines are very quiet. 😉

I’m sure it’s Apple’s Harley competitor. Or a Powerbook G5.
Powerbook G5 <-HAHAHAHAHA!
Excellent joke. 😀
What’s he building in there?

iTunes is being cut up into tiny pieces…to be restored to desirability of yore.
Being a 3-D junky living in a 3-D world, I could easily see iTunes turned into a 3-D GUI element where the user spins a cube, dodecahedron or whatever, in order to choose the iTunes functionality they’d like to use. It’s a natural fit.
The multi-tentacled 2-D interface of iTunes, and maybe its now nearly meaningless name, have got to go.
Cleaning up the URL code for the joke image:
These are of course digital recordings of famous motors that will be available from the iTunes Store for your 2018 Apple all electric car! 😎
That would be cool. Sign me in. xD
It’s the beans.
Chain saw? Power generator with muffler removed? Reruns of the NHRA nationals?
Top secret? How come I’m reading about this in Liverpool, UK?
Eddie Cue racing his Ferrari around in circles?
Whatever is going on there, I bet all I have that Apple will never be developing a car with a combustion engine.
Apple isn’t developing a new car. They’re trying to get CarPlay integrated into real cars.
If loud noises, it can only be Apple’s version of the Chevy Big Block, a 500 cubic inch, 600 HP monster that gets 7 MPG.
After all, with oil at $27/bbl these days, who wants an under-powered electric with range issues? Give me a good ole American-made Big Block and a full tank of premium gas.
I hear Ive has a secret fascination for monsters trucks.
Y’all seem to forget. Samsung isn’t the only company producing high end flagship devices running Android.
In fact Samsung is widely hated within the Android community itself almost as much as in the iOS community.
Damn it. Wrong article. Ignore please. >___>
Tim and Jony were testing the new products.
Yeah Really! Then Angela thought it was a good to use CRISPR technology and turn Phil into a monkey as a marketing scheme, but then Phil got caught and this is what happened:
Hydrogen Combustion.
If I was Apple, I’d have a massive sound system installed into their Secret Laboratory that played a variety of non sequitur sound out into the aether in order to confuse and confound would-be spies.
