Cars, scooters, and auto-rickshaws create musical patterns over city potholes.

Mumbai has launched Rain Symphony, transforming bumpy roads into impromptu musical instruments. According to The Times of India, sensors in potholes trigger melodies as vehicles pass, turning commutes into percussive concerts.

Drivers report reduced stress, creative engagement, and friendly pothole competitions. Officials provide apps to track musical accuracy and share compositions. Critics raise concerns over safety and tech glitches, but proponents highlight joy, community interaction, and inventive urban experiences. Future expansions include seasonal symphonies and neighborhood competitions.
