The new Lincoln Aviator will be fully revealed later this month at the Los Angeles Auto Show. (A concept version was shown in March at the New York Auto Show.) A three-row crossover, the Aviator concept featured a twin-turbo V6 powertrain with an optional plug-in hybrid powertrain. Expect more details when the production model debuts.

The Aviator's new alert sounds, which you can hear in the video embedded below, fall into three categories that Lincoln calls noncritical, soft-warning chimes and hard-warning chimes. They'll be used for 25 different alerts in the Lincoln Aviator. Engineers were able to use the more detailed audio recordings because they managed to free up more space on the chip used for in-car warning tones.
