CUSTOMIZATION OF SOUND PRODUCTION FOR ON-ROAD VEHICLES
DRIVE
April 23, 2026
A system for customization of on-road sound production for a vehicle includes one or more noise generators supported relative to the vehicle and configured to produce a soundscape in an environment of the vehicle. The system further includes memory storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the processor(s) to generate the soundscape from a sound file based on an indication of a user-preferred sound file of multiple files, an environmental context surrounding the vehicle, or both. The instructions cause the processor(s) to determine whether an operational status of the vehicle is suitable for on-road operation. The instructions cause the processor(s) to further produce, in response to a determination that the operational status of the vehicle is suitable for on-road operation, the soundscape utilizing the noise generator(s) while the operational status of the vehicle is suitable for on-road operation.
