When Audi made the announcement for its e-tron concept, a high-performance electric car boasting over 300 horsepower, and a 0-60 sprint time of less than five seconds, there was one issue standing in the way: could the e-tron capture the thrilling sound of driving a new Audi that we're accustomed to in greater Charlotte area? The answer is yes, with an assist from an electric piano.
Enlisting the help of acoustics expert Rudolf Halbmeir, Audi has developed e-sound technology, which creates synthetic sounds for vehicles like the e-tron. Using an electric piano, Halbmeir developed rhythmic noise astonishingly similar to the roar of an Audi engine when accelerating, all the way down to the quaint rumble the vehicle makes while idling. Halbmeir believes these car compositions are more emotional than intellectual, and when they are combined together, you get the frequencies of a powerful sports car, and the Audi sound we all know and love.
