Device for outputting audio signals into the interior of a motor vehicle

A device for outputting an audio signal into an interior of a motor vehicle, which interior forms part of a passenger compartment, comprising:

• an audio output means which comprises a plurality of audio output elements which can be or are arranged in the interior of the motor vehicle, and
• a controller which is or can be assigned to the audio output means and which is configured for controlling at least one audio output parameter of the audio signal which can be output into the interior of the motor vehicle via the audio output elements,
• wherein the controller is configured to control the at least one audio output parameter of the audio signal on the basis of orientation and movement information generated by a detection means which is configured for detecting an orientation and/or movement of a chassis of the motor vehicle relative to a ground on which the motor vehicle drives, to facilitate acoustically conveying orientations and movements of the chassis of the motor vehicle relative to the ground on which the motor vehicle drives, which orientations and movements vary during vehicle operation of the motor vehicle on the ground,
• wherein the at least one audio output parameter is an energy or a delay of the audio signal;
• wherein the controller is configured to associate variable orientations and movements of the motor vehicle with different energies or delays, for controlling the at least one audio output parameter of the audio signal to be output into the interior of the motor vehicle such that orientations and movements of the motor vehicle which vary during vehicle operation of the motor vehicle on the ground are directly acoustically perceptible for a vehicle occupant by way of correspondingly varying audio output parameters;
• wherein the controller is configured to carry out a change of the energy and the delay of the audio signal in a stepless manner, which stepless manner change takes place in connection with controlling the energy and the delay of the audio signal on the basis of the orientation and movement information;
• and
• wherein the controller is configured to perform a control and adjustment of the energy and the delay of the audio signal with respect to a pre-defined reference energy and delay of the audio signal on the basis of the orientation and movement information within a defined audio output parameter boundary value range.
