There is a band from Pasadena, California called Ozma. Way back in the day (1999), they released an album called “Songs of Audible Trucks and Cars” [0] via MP3.com. I later found out that they really wanted the title to be “Songs of Inaudible Trucks and Cars” [1], but MP3.com had a character limit on album titles, so they had to shorten it

If, like me, you immediately thought "why not just drop the 'and' and replace it with an ampersand?", Ozma had to do that, too, and parent's quoted the album title incorrectly, alas.

"Songs of Inaudible Automobiles" would have fit and been fun to say aloud.
