In this way, a sound environment may be provided to a vehicle user based on the at least one vehicle state.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- selecting a sound element, the sound element corresponding to a natural environment;
- and
- broadcasting the sound element via one or more speakers of a vehicle.
A system, comprising:
- a computing system of a vehicle;
- a plurality of speakers;
- a plurality of sensors communicatively coupled to the computing system, the plurality of sensors including a GPS sensor;
- a processor communicatively coupled to the computing system;
- and
- a storage device storing instructions executable by the processor to:
- broadcast a first sound element and a second sound element via the plurality of speakers, both of the first sound element and the second sound element selected based on a signal from the GPS sensor, the first sound element indexed to a first virtual location, and the second sound element indexed to a second virtual location.
