This is complete nonsense. Don't believe it! Everyone should realize by
now that the hampster squeeling, being an audio wavelength in the range
of about 8kHz, when added to the speed of the photons emanating from your
headlamps, would drive the net frequency of hampster squeels well above the
range of human hearing. In addition, in order for the hampster to avoid
being crushed by the enormous reverse photonic thrust of the headlamps,
they are packaged in a Photon Hardened Anti Reactive Treadmill (PHART).
A Miata comes with only 2 PHARTs. Beyond this number, driving becomes
unbearable due to the additive effects of multiple hamsters. (Incidentally,
its crucial to keep your PHARTs clean. Hamsters don't like dirty PHARTs.)

I hope this clears up the confusion.
