Automotive customers have become accustomed to triggered sounds in vehicles for alerts and communications. The field of triggered sounds is expanding to include customer exciting sounds. These triggered sounds are broadcasts from the infotainment system and are both triggered and controlled via the vehicle CAN messages. This level of complex triggering and control allows Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) to craft excitement generating triggered sounds while providing audible feedback which corresponds to vehicle operation. Pop and Burble (P&B) Enhancement is one example of a triggered sound. It generates excitement and provides a perception of powerfulness to the vehicle. This paper will discuss the benefits and potential application of electronically enhancing P&B, the process to develop the sounds, control logic and a software solution set to create, implement, and tune P&B enhancement.
