1. A vehicle comprising:
a speaker; one or more processors; and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed, configure the vehicle to:
determine a planned vehicle trajectory associated with the vehicle, wherein the planned vehicle trajectory comprises one or more speeds and one or more directions of travel of the vehicle at a time in the future;
determine that a threshold speed of the planned vehicle trajectory is associated with a signal;
determine a time associated with the vehicle reaching the threshold speed; and
emit, continuously via the speaker and based at least in part on the time, a sound associated with the signal while the vehicle is at the threshold speed and at all speeds below the threshold speed.
