I don't think much was done in terms of effects for the original
Gone in 60 Seconds. For example, that part in which the Mustang spins out and takes out a light pole, bending the driver's side fender close to 90 degrees; not only real, but unscripted.
The super-loud
MEEP made by a Honda horn sounds like the roadrunner on crack. Got another blast today, but I was about 40 feet away. I suppose it wouldn't bother an older person with hearing that has lost acuity with time, but it bothers me plenty. If I get many more ground-zero blasts though, my hearing will be like yours in the not-too-distant future. At least with ambulance sirens I get a warning and can cover my ears as they go by. Next worst offenders are fire trucks; police cars, not so bad.
