Tesla sound system will adjust to wind and road noise in future update

Oooh, an algorithm! I’d average sound from the voice-control mic and adjust the volume in proportion to that, decibel to decibel.

Could go further with that and have active noise reduction.

Of course we would agree, all the implementations of automatic speed volume control (or whatever marketing name they have) are adjustable with usually off, low, medium, and high settings. On my Volt the low setting worked very well. With a window or the roof opened a higher setting would be more appropriate.

I don’t want things in my car that I have no control over…

all these systems work okay 40% of he time… the other 60% of the time they are simply annoying

the high beam system unnecessarily dims the bright lights on dark roads for driveways that have lights/posts at the driveway end :: DISABLED

the lane change feature rumbles the wheel every-time I move from one side of the lane to the other to avoid pot holes DISABLED

the range mode extender dials down the heat and AC systems dramatically and offers little extended range in return and makes the front drive motor much noisier all the time : DISABLED

The AP was so lazy wobbly in the lane of travel … it made me sea sick :; DISABLED

SUMMON : DISABLED (need you ask why?)

Need I go on?

PS.. Had a 98 Monte Carlo with that active stereo volume leveling … DISABLED (drove me nutts changing the volume constantly om it’s own)

@joeski1: did you miss the «off» part? You have control. Glass half empty?

@joeski1: did you miss the «off» part? You have control. Glass half empty?

HAH! My cup overflowth!

As long as I can turn this nonsense off.

I will DEFINITELY DISABLE..

Joeski seems like he really loves his Tesla.

Joeski seems like he really loves his Tesla.

I appreciate the technology but realize it’s flaws.

«Automatic» for who?

I demand a higher level of tactile control.

If a MV operator needs help with this baloney like automatic parallel parking, auto high beams and the like.. then my opinion of that MV operator’s driving ability is that it is incomplete and flawed..

This thread adresses the inability of the MV operator to control the volume of the sound system to their individual liking and would proport that an automatic system would be able to do it better?

I have 2 volume controls on my TS.. and a volume roller on my steering wheel?

Why would I require some system to be screwing with my sound system volume ?

I’m pretty straightforward

The MS gets a solid «A-«

I wouldn’t consider the MX or M3 personally . Not where I am at .

Always the showman, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has taken to Twitter to tease a new feature that would adjust a vehicle’s sound system volume based on wind and road noise. The news follows Musk’s weekend selling spree wherein the serial tech entrepreneur scored $2 million in flamethrower pre-orders in less than 24 hours.

Musk made his commonplace ‘Coming soon’ remark in response to yet another feature request being made on Twitter. Model S owner Joseph Huberman suggested, “it sure would be nice if my Tesla S would adjust the media sound in relation to the wind and road noise.”

Musk’s reply? ‘Coming soon.’

Unlike a traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) car that emits engines sounds that drown out interior cabin noises, including any conversation taking place and music from the vehicle’s sound system, Tesla’s engineless vehicle is only subject to wind and tire noises. Though wind and tire noise also exists in an ICE car, it’s less prominent, as the sound of the engine is far louder and more noticeable.

Tesla’s upcoming feature will presumably use an algorithm that determines the decibel level of wind and tire noise that’s based on the speed of the vehicle and adjusts volume accordingly. Afterall, the all-electric range of a Tesla is contingent upon the speed in which the vehicle travels. Higher speeds result in an increase of air resistance, which in turn creates additional wind noise and a dependence on more energy to move the vehicle the same distance. Similarly, higher speeds create additional rolling resistance between the vehicle’s tires and the ground, thereby also producing more noise.

Though not always timely in delivering on promises, one can argue that Musk’s ‘Coming soon’ remark for new features do carry weight in the form of eventual execution. Afterall, features such as ‘Easy-entry‘ and the AI-based ‘Autowipers‘ quickly made its way into vehicles in an over-the-air software update after being suggested over Twitter. Yet, other long-promised features such as an improved web browser for Model S and Model X vehicles, and an improved Autopilot experience remain as work in progress, likely because of their complexities.

Still, being able to interact with customers directly over the micro-blogging platform has remained a favorite past time of Musk. The serial tech entrepreneur recently announced that Model 3 functions will largely be controllable via voice commands. He also noted that a software update is coming that will address a quirk with the latest rain-sensing Autowipers feature.

The sound system in my X is very good and I turn it up from the thumbwheel if needed. What I want is a windshield of the same stuff in the new semi that will not crack or shatter. I just found out how expensive it is to replace after a crack grows quickly. How likely is a crack and shatterproof windshield for the model X, even as a replacement ?

Yes…address a non issue… the sound system volume . In a vehicle that IS so quiet operatiionally.. that the wind noise is most all one can hear..(aside from some motor whine) and it IS minimal at worst..

While the «automatic» wipers go herky jerky across the windshield glass in no relation to the actual need…

Where do I «DISABLE» the «quirky» auto sense wipers that are another wacky annoying auto system that functions wrong almost 50% of the time?

I prefer the dependable old style timer delay wipers that I set myself actually .. they function better and more consistantly and I’m used to them..

That MX W/S was a total deal breaker for me . Yes..a cracked W/S waiting to happen.. They’re gonna get cheaper because most MX owners will be replacing a W/S @ least once every few years..
Shatterproof is one thing.. «crackproof» is another!! Good Luck! !

Certainly going to be a welcome upgrade.
While I do not own a T≡SLA yet (unfortunately) I was fortunate enough to be able to test drive three different types of Model S, in which I could not help but notice these wind & tire on tarmac noises.

Since Premium Sound in Model 3 is reportedly remarkable, I look forward to this adjustment and trust the ‘coming soon’ statement will make it real waaaay before I get Midnight S≡R≡NITY… 😀

Oooh, an algorithm! I’d average sound from the voice-control mic and adjust the volume in proportion to that, decibel to decibel.

Please allow this new feature ( along with all others) to be disabled.

I already have 2 volume control button sets.

All this automated stuff works about 50% of the time and is totally annoying the other 50%

I have my AP disabled, my lane change warning disabled, my auto headlights disabled, my range mode disabled..

GET THE PICTURE?

I want the GO ANY WHERE ELECTRIC navigation .app..

Give us something we need.

Please allow this new feature ( along with all others) to be disabled.

Interesting input, Joe, yet not sure all owners would agree.
Opinions?

The funny thing is Tesla already has an intelligent volume control. When the volume is high (think 4 and above) when the car stops and you open a door the volume goes down. Also it does lower the volume when the navigation gives directions (driver side speaker only the ultra high fidelity version), so Tesla is almost there 🙂 Another thing I wish they add is a more granular control of the navigation volume, setting 1 is too quiet for me, setting 2 is too loud.
