I knew they used sounds to fool us, but I never heard of the door slam sham.
MOREThe sound of your car's door slamming is a lie. A trick. A clever ruse. And it's all thanks to the engineers who designed your car.
Your car doors are carefully designed to sound sturdier than they really are, reports Mel. You can thank psychoacoustics for this practice, which is the study of the mind's perception of different sounds.

I will tell you a way to confirm what has been said. Get out of your car with all other doors and windows up. Then close the door. Nice solid sound. Next open the window on the other side of the car and close the door again and you will hear a totally different sound that is not so comforting.
