The Importance of Sound in Cars
The sound of a car is carefully engineered to create a specific driving experience. Every sound, even the sound of the door closing, is designed to meet consumer expectations and communicate the quality of the vehicle. The thunk of a door, for instance, can make a car feel more solid and well-built. Car enthusiasts also value the raw sound of the engine and may prefer to listen to the motor while driving. As cars become better insulated, auto makers have started electronically editing and amplifying engine sounds to enhance the driving experience.
