"music on hold"-grade tune

Refers to a somewhat-"tame"/boring and/or repetitive musical composition that is "okay", but definitely nothing special or "memorable" --- it would merely be something that you might wanna half-listen to while waiting for someone to pick up/get back to you on the phone, be serenaded with over a store's PA system while shopping, or have for soothing your impatience when riding a slow elevator.
The NYC Greyhound station plays light-classical music over the ceiling-speakers to help its patrons to while away the long boring hours during bus-layovers; I appreciate it that they don't simply toss "music on hold"-grade tunes at you for extended periods.

burble tune

A modification done to a vehicle, which intentionally causes the vehicle to backfire (unburnt fuel entering the exhaust). Unlike other forms of automotive tuning, a burble tune offers no gains in horsepower or fuel efficiency, and is in fact more likely to cause catastrophic engine damage and accelerate wear and tear.

Often done by teenage poser car guys who are too broke to afford mods that would actually increase the performance of their vehicle.

While a proper, high-performance tune may cause a car to backfire more than stock due to running more fuel and boost, a burble tune is specifically done only for the bops and bangs caused by a backfiring.

Tune in but Tune out

Phrase: When you, someone else, or even a group of people listen to a conversation (most often it's an argument or fight) between others to get all the juicy details, but don't want those who are having the conversation to know that you're listening to them, tell your fellow listeners to do this. Its primary use is to prevent getting yourself or others involved in the confrontation, and allows you to listen for the details.
Guy 1: Hey, the boss and the new guy are having an argument! Sounds like he won't be here much longer!

Guy 2: Tune in but Tune out, man! Get the details but don't get involved!
