While hoovering I've noticed the air-flow can make a variety of sounds while going into the nozzle.
Having discussed this idea with our suck engineers, we've come up with a nozzle that employs various high and low Q materials to synthesize a voice-box nozzle that accurately simulates the growl of
a cougar or jaguar.
Now when moving the nozzle away from a flat surface, the sudden increase in air flow will produce a wild-cat roar as the hoover readies itself for devouring the next dust bunny.

my poor dog is terrified of the vacuum cleaner all ready, and this would put her over the edge. |

I'd like to see how our cat would react to this. |

Lovely! Perhaps incorporate parts of the dust-bag into the voicebox, so the roar is modulated according to the fullness of the bag? |

And paint teeth on the nozzle. |
