when people in the front of a
car talk just loud enough that they can hear one another but too quietly for those
in the back to hear. effect is added to by music in a car generally being
louder when sitting in the back.

Fred:
Absolute crap, Matt and Greg sat in the front and used
front seat voices all the way here, I couldn't hear a thing!

Mum: How are we going to discuss directions to the theatre without my mother being a
back seat driver?
Dad: Don't worry, just turn up the radio and use front seat voices.
