Abstract: An acoustical window assembly for a vehicle includes a window panel and mounting portions for mounting respective perimeter regions of the window panel to a vehicle structure. A first mounting portion substantially fixedly mounts a first perimeter region of the window panel relative to the vehicle structure, while a second mounting portion mounts a second perimeter region of the window panel to the vehicle structure and includes a flexible element to allow for movement of the second perimeter region of the window panel toward and away from the vehicle structure. An actuating assembly is positioned at an actuating region of the window panel and has a substantially rigid interface element that engages the actuating region of the window panel. The actuating assembly is operable to vibrate the window panel via vibration of the substantially rigid interface element relative to the vehicle structure.

Abstract: A window assembly for a vehicle includes a window panel, a frame portion and an actuating assembly. The frame portion is disposed partially around a perimeter of the window panel and not disposed at a free perimeter portion of the window panel. The actuating assembly is positioned at or near the free perimeter portion of the window panel and is operable to vibrate the window panel. The frame portion may fixedly secure a fixed perimeter portion of the window panel at the vehicle, and the fixed perimeter portion may be substantially opposite from the free perimeter portion. The window assembly is configured to allow flexing along other perimeter portions of the window panel between the fixed perimeter portion and the free perimeter portion.

Abstract: An acoustical window assembly for a vehicle includes a transparent glass window panel and mounting portions for mounting respective perimeter regions of the window panel to a vehicle structure. A first mounting portion substantially fixedly mounts a first perimeter region of the window panel relative to the vehicle structure, while a second mounting portion mounts a second perimeter region of the window panel to the vehicle structure and includes a flexible element to allow for movement of the second perimeter region of the window panel toward and away from the vehicle structure. An actuating assembly is positioned at an actuating region of the window panel and has a substantially rigid interface element that engages the actuating region of the window panel. The actuating assembly is operable to vibrate the window panel via vibration of the substantially rigid interface element relative to the vehicle structure.
