January 22, 2026
A seat assembly is provided. The seatback for a first seat is configured to receive an occupant in a vehicle. A headrest is coupled to the seatback and includes at least one loudspeaker and a lattice structure. At least one loudspeaker is positioned in the headrest and is configured to transmit an audio output signal from the headrest. The lattice structure includes a first section positioned proximate to the at least one loudspeaker to enable the audio output signal to pass therethrough and a second section to prevent the audio output signal from leaking to a second seat. The first section is formed at a first density and the second section is formed at a second density. The first density of the first section is less than the second density of the second section to increase an acoustic transparency of the audio output signal.
