Abstract
An interior component for a vehicle including a speaker cover that includes a carrier with a plurality of openings for the sound transmission through the carrier, and a sound permeable cladding that is disposed on a sound exit side of the carrier.

An interior component for a vehicle, comprising:
- a loudspeaker cover that includes a carrier with a plurality of through-openings for sound transmission through the carrier, and a sound-permeable cladding that is disposed on a sound-outlet side of the carrier, and the carrier is configured at least sectionally as a light conductor in order to guide light introduced into the carrier to the plurality of through-openings and to the sound-permeable cladding;
- and
- a sound-permeable compensation layer that includes an altered light outlet is applied on the carrier, and a loudspeaker is optically covered by the loudspeaker cover,
- wherein the carrier includes optical imperfections configured to perform at least one of refraction and deflection of the light, and the optical imperfections result in at least one of a directed light-guiding into the carrier and a homogeneous light output from the carrier.
