Active sound design

Active sound design (ASD) is an automotive audio application in which the car engine's sound is generated based on various engine parameters like speed and throttle input. This technology is implemented in BMW M5 and Renault Clio.[1]

Some people feel that the sounds these systems generate to mimic engine and transmission noises are inauthentic and, as a result, they disable them.[2] This application was founded by the Korea Ministry of Environment (MOE) as the "Environmental Health Action Program".[3] Although this application is a relatively new idea, car industries have been making great strides. Various technologies are being employed to enhance vehicle engine sound including things such as active control systems.[4] The purpose of active sound design is to provide customers with cars that make the sounds they prefer. The main goal for car manufacturers is to appeal to the buyers by allowing them to buy a certain car and giving them the opportunity to make it sound like another.[5]
