SoundSeat (Code 7040) Multimodalplayback system for vehicle interior noise

Scientific research proves that the validity of a perceptive auditory assessment of vehicle interior noise is highly context-sensitive. Compared to headphone-only playback, the authenticity of the simulation can be greatly improved by playing the noise signals in a realistic environment and allowing the user to controlit interactively.

SoundSeatprovides realistic driving feeling by combining airborne and structure-bornesound playback with real vehicle controls.

With the H3S simulation software developed as a perfect match for SoundSeat, subject scan operate SoundSeat like a real vehicle: They can accelerate, brake and shift gears, while noise and vibrations realistically adapt to the current drivingsituation in real time. On a big screen, subjects can watch the corresponding visual scenery and thus obtain a realistic overall impression of the drivingsituation.

Evenwithout H3S, SoundSeat is excellently suited for non-interactive playback ofsounds and vibrations in a vehicle context, e.g. for rating and comparing sound quality in connection with the SQuare jurytesting software.
