Governments…
Give them too much money and they will build you a singing road.

I can think in some serious and real uses for this. Police surveillance. Helping to solve a kidnapping trough a phone call even if is a hacked one-use phone card. Finding quickly the position of a car accident...
The problem is the noise. If they can find a way to mute the signal and deal with the excessive noise problem could be a rule-changer.
The own asphalt singing in morse trought a hidden microphone the Kilometric point of the road in an infrasound sequence. Somebody could easily find the route or position of a car in a recording or phone conversation just listening to the watermark placed as a invisible soundscape. Is terrific.
IDK, gps seems a much better fit for those. Well, unless you're stupid enough to record a ransom video within earshot of a singing road I guess...
I, for one, would much prefer silent roads. For a while the chirper thing for the crosswalks a block over was turned up way too loud and I had to listen to it all night when I had the windows open because the weather was nice -- even more annoying than a low-battery smoke detector.
On the other hand GPS relies in some signal output that maybe could be discovered by a listening device. This could be just passively recorded by a hidden sort of quiescent black-box device (to be recovered later).

They could’ve perform such an experiment without playing games. Then, they wouldn’t have wasted citizens’ $90,000.
