Abstract: The invention is an apparatus used to send sound exterior to the vehicle to a location on the interior of a vehicle which corresponds with the sound’s external location. The apparatus adjusts for gain by frequency and shifts frequencies of the audio signals received exterior to the vehicle to generate a modified audio signal. The adjustments include compensation for hearing loss, compensation for audio in the interior of the vehicle, and attenuation adjustments for unwanted exterior noise. The modified audio signal is generated by filtering unwanted audio from the exterior audio, adjusting for gain by frequency and shifting/compressing frequencies according to hearing deficiencies, and adjusting for gain by frequency according to audio in the interior of the vehicle. The modified audio signal may be limited to a maximum gain and then amplified in the interior of the vehicle.

Abstract: A write command is received to write data in a target zone including one or more tracks and it is determined whether a data structure is stored in a memory for counting writes performed in a track of the target zone. If such a data structure is not stored in the memory, at least one Low Repeat Write (LRW) data structure is created for the target zone to count writes in sectors of respective tracks of the target zone since creation of the at least one LRW data structure. In another aspect, a write count for a segment is incremented in a data structure for a track to account for a write in the segment. A current overall Track Interference (TI) write count for the target zone is incremented if the incremented segment write count is the highest write count among respective segment write counts in the data structure.
