My guess is, "real", but they got lazy about synching the video with the audio.

I can't find the reference now, but there was a story circulating a while ago that claimed they did this in Japan. There was a stretch of highway where speeding was particularly dangerous, and they cut grooves in the asphalt such that, if you drove the posted speed limit, it would play a recognizable melody. Too fast or too slow, and all you'd hear is noise.
Never heard any followup on whether the experiment was a success. Me, I'd probably be constantly speeding up and slowing down to see if I could play the highway like a giant keyboard.
Only in Japan............
