While reducing noise pollution was initially seen as a unique selling point for electric cars, their quieter outside sound can be a risk to pedestrians and cyclists. As a result, all new models of electric cars sold in the EU and US must be fitted with Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Systems (AVAS) under certain conditions.

But vehicle manufacturers can turn this safety issue into a unique opportunity to strengthen their brand identity by creating a ‘signature’ exterior vehicle sound.

The perfect AVAS solution for everyone

Our PHANTONE platform offers design teams all they need to build an intelligent, internal, and external electric car sound solution — from a complete AVAS system to exterior car speakers, a sound control unit, sound designer software, and engineering support.

Its modular approach fits the needs of both more mature manufacturers - who can pick and choose what they require -, and those newer to the technology – because the entire system is predefined.
