In-seat sound suppression

A vehicle system comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• acquire passenger identifying data regarding an identity of a passenger present within a seat of a vehicle;
• identify a passenger profile associated with the passenger based on the the identity of the passenger, the passenger profile including a pre-stored physical characteristic of the passenger associated therewith;
• and
• control a speaker positioned within the vehicle based at least in part on the pre-stored physical characteristic included with the passenger profile to emit noise-canceling sound waves to generate a noise suppression zone to suppress sound waves perceived by the passenger.

A vehicle system comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive an indication that a passenger is sitting in a seat of a vehicle;
• acquire biometric data of the passenger;
• acquire first passenger data regarding the passenger from a first source based on the biometric data;
• acquire sound data from a microphone within the vehicle;
• control one or more speakers within the vehicle based at least in part on the sound data and the first passenger data to emit noise-canceling sound waves to generate a noise suppression zone that projects toward the passenger to suppress one or more sound waves perceived by the passenger;
• acquire second passenger data from a second source regarding movement of the passenger within the seat;
• and
• dynamically adjust the noise suppression zone based on the second passenger data.
