Due to the nature of the powertrain, electric and hybrid vehicles lack feedback on speed and acceleration. The HARMAN HALOsonic® Electronic Sound Synthesis solutions – internal Electronic Sound Synthesis and external Electronic Sound Synthesis – solve these issues by enabling the OEMs to deliver the targeted vehicle sound matching their brand identity.
Pedestrians, bicyclists and other road users who are accustomed to relying on auditory cues from vehicles to navigate around traffic, fail to hear approaching electric/hybrid vehicles. The HARMAN HALOsonic® Electronic Sound Synthesis solutions – internal Electronic Sound Synthesis (iESS) and external Electronic Sound Synthesis (eESS) – help to solve these issues, enabling OEMs to attain the targeted engine sounds reflective of their brand identity.
Enables sound contouring inside the car by creating speed-, acceleration-, and throttle-dependent sounds through the standard speaker system
Advanced synthesis tools allow complete flexibility for “coloring the blank acoustic canvas” offered by todays electric and hybrid vehicle applications, in “all-electric” mode
Sound synthesis during engine-off conditions on Hybrid Electric Vehicles or Range-Extended Electric Vehicles improves perception of engine start-stop events
Improved powertrain feedback makes drivers feel connected to the car they drive
Advanced external sound synthesis technologies allow OEMs to define a unique external sound, matching their brand DNA and easily recognizable by anyone on the road
Combines Active Noise Cancellation and Electronic Sound Synthesis to simultaneously remove unwanted noise content and synthesize or augment desired sound content
