Dou dou dou

Prince Edward Island has a fleet of electric school buses, one of which stops near our house every afternoon.

I swore that the sound effect the bus emits was the same as the the Montréal métro’s dou dou dou sound, so I called the company. 

It is!

It is disconcerting to hear the métro doors closing outside my house, especially when waking up from a nap.

The 3-note motif (F#, B, F#) also appears in the guitar solo of Rush's Limelight (near 2m52s of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiRuj2_czzw ). Is this peak Can-Con? Hopefully a generation of children will be fans of classic rock.
