  • Patent number: 10427600
    Abstract: A motor vehicle sound generator system has a housing in which a loudspeaker is accommodated. The housing has at least a first orifice and a second orifice. The orifices each have a sound transmission member provided thereon. The first orifice is arranged in a front side region of the loudspeaker and the second orifice is arranged in a rear side region of the loudspeaker as viewed in an axial direction of the loudspeaker. The sound generator system has a first sound outlet opening that is associated with the first orifice and a second sound outlet opening that is associated with the second orifice. The sound exits into open air through the first and second sound outlet openings, with the first and second sound outlet openings being free of exhaust gas flow.

  • Patent number: 9984670
    Abstract: In a method of influencing the exhaust noise of a motor vehicle, a control unit generates noise package signals, the control unit transmits the noise package signals individually or so as to superimpose a basic signal to a loudspeaker associated with an exhaust branch of the motor vehicle, and the loudspeaker converts the individual noise package signals or the basic signal superimposed with the noise package signals into sound waves, with individual noise package signals being emitted by the loudspeaker as time-limited sound wave packages, so-called noise packages. Furthermore, an exhaust system is shown.
