Does anyone have any instructables or ideas on how to make my car sound like a Tie Fighter as I drive around?

Just keep playing it on your stereo.
Is this an original idea or did you hear a car going wyeeeeeeaaaaaa and then decided that you wanted to do the same?
In any case, I commend your endeavour, good luck sir.
I think the biggest obstacle would be from your perspective it would just be a steady annoying sound. TIEs only have their characteristic howl when doing a flyby. But if you're aware of that and you one want it for how it sounds as you drive by, I'd think just playing the tone through the speakers would do.
There's an audio illusion that's somewhat analogous to the barber pole illusion --- instead of a pattern which appears to always go up or down, you can have a sound which seems to always go up or down in pitch: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepard_tone
I personally find continuous impossible pitch shifting more distracting than a constant howl, but YMMV.
Good luck and Godspeed.
It's pretty much certain some EVs are easier than others to jailbreak. Probably don't go with a Tesla. My impression is that established manufacturers tend more to build cars that are just cars, so maybe a Nissan Leaf or something.
I can’t speak to specifics but I can give you some ideas.
So the obd port might have some basic info such as acceleration and turns since and/or at least torque/thrust readings that you can poll since insurance companies and others have devices that use them to track your driving (often paired with GPS which you don’t need)
So some arduino project that lets you plug in and poll that data and to establish a trigger for some audio could be fun.

Pair that with something else that lets you connect via auxiliary or Bluetooth so you can play it over the speaker and you might have something.

This might be easier since a pi would be better suited to playback of audio and might be easier to get everything connected and to tinker with the Python to respond to certain readings
I saw such a device on Instagram. I think it was a Bluetooth connection from the computer diagnostic port to the phone.
The app takes this data and makes the right noise based on engine revs. The app was full of different engine sounds both real and fictional along with silly noises such as farting.
Bolt one end of some sheet metal to your bumper, leaving the other end to scrape along the ground. Should generate the required NYAAAUUUGGHHH sound wherever you go.
Make it unobtrusive. Otherwise reconsider
Whistles... They go woo woo?
I quote this shit all the time,
Was going to post this if it wasn't here already. Thanks, great video.
Ha. I missed this. I guess today I’m one of the lucky 10000
I'm almost certain someone could build one of these that recreates the tie fighter sound. We need one of those YouTube makers with access to a metal 3d printer to design and build one.
Can't 3d print exhaust components. However, I was wondering what various whistle tips inline would sound like. If each has a different size hole, perhaps they would have slightly different frequencies? The combination might be tie fighter'ish driving by.
Anyone know how the original sound was generated?
Internet vintage

You might be able to tune the radio to an AM frequency that picks up the engine interference.
get a hole drilled in your tailpipe
The whistles go wooooooooo
WOO WOO!
Play slowed down African elephant noises on the stereo as you drive on wet roads.
Get yourself a Stuka Siren and modify it until the pitch is right.
40000 rpm wenkel engine with a muffler.
Could you get a couple whistles at 'come online' at various speeds?
You might need some funnels to concentrate the air, but if you might be able to tune it so it works in the lower speed, 0-30 range.
Otherwise, if you can could also get a Raspy and a gyroscope to play them as recordings when certain tilt requirements are met.
Maybe if you have an electric car you could hack in and replace the space ship sounds with your preferred space ship sounds. Might be illegal though.
You're probably joking, but in case you're not - those sounds are just what brushless motors sound like. There's nothing you can heck.
If you're joking, good one!
Some cars do actually make an electronic sound to warn pedestrians of their presence. Mostly European cars, and the little hairdresser's Jeep thing I forget the name
You’re probably joking, but in case you’re not: Electric cars must make an artificial sound on low speeds in Europe to alert people. The motor is too quiet on its own.
He may not, maybe he's talking about the sound when the car isn't fast enough to alert people on the street, just to let know that something is coming. It shut at a certain speed I think
