How, precisely, an electric car should sound for its driver remains a hot topic. It has not always been in front and central, more than a few manufacturers simply assumed that the owners would appreciate the sound of almost silence, but with the clients complaining of a palpable missing missing with batteries transmissions, the importance of the audio experience is now taken very seriously. Case in question: the new sound landscape of Hypersonx that BMW has been developing for Neue Klasse models.
This includes 43 sound signals and ‘special driving sounds for personal mode and sports mode’, although, in general terms, it is assumed that the ‘multidimensional spectrum’ adapts what he listens to being the conduction situation in question (in the same way the noise of a combustion engine indicates what is happening on the road). We have been here before, of course, although BMW considers that its approach ‘genuinely breaks new land’, especially because it is being driven by technological advances in hardware and software introduced in the Neue Klasse.
Specifically, the bandwidth of the dynamic range has been significantly improved by a new audio control unit, a capable of delivering a ‘new dimensional level’, which means more ‘color, depth and precision’ of what has been achieved before. “Hypersonx’s unique sound spectrum plays an important role in giving a Neue Klasse model its own very distinctive character acoustically. Through our approach to precision, warmth and lightness, we can create a direct emotional connection between the driver and his vehicle,” emphasizes the creative director of Sound of BMW, director of BMW.
As expected when you hire a creative director of sound design, they will need a small rope. And when reads about the inspiration provided by the “nature and structures of the world of art and science”, you know where that rope has been used. However, in his search for ‘a cohesive and multidimensional acoustic experience, he aimed to replicate the speed sensationMost of us would agree that BMW is directed in the right direction. If you have really reached the appropriate destination with Hypersonx depends on you. But be sure that it is worth listening to it …
