Ford Audio Engineers are Going Beyond the Basics of Sound
The experts
at Ford Motor Company are pulling out all the stops to remind long time muscle
car fanatics why the Ford
Mustang continues to be the best-selling sports car. Using sound to
elicit a heart-pounding, breath-taking response, the audio designers at Ford
are continuing to pull out all the stops to design acoustic exhaust sounds in
several new Ford Models, including the 2018 and 2019 Ford Mustang, that excite
the senses and deliver a note of performance.
Sounds Like History Straight from
the Factory
From the
gas crises of the mid-1970’s all the way to the mid-2000’s many auto
manufacturers were installing quieter exhaust systems to offer a greener
alternative as well as offer more luxurious quiet. While some may enjoy the
quiet, who really wants to own a hot rod with no sound?
Designers
at Ford are once again recognizing a sports car owner’s need for a sound that taps
into our desire for power and thrills. That is why both these hard-working
employees as well as the most knowledgeable muscle car engineers available have
put as much effort into tapping into a signature sound DNA that connects
drivers to the emotional expectation they have for a specific car like a
historic Ford Mustang.
Other than
spending time at a local sports car hang out or drag strip, how exactly do
these experts find the perfect
sound that will make any sports car lover jump for joy? These
automotive sound engineers rely on computational analysis to design, for
example, a computer-controlled active exhaust system that opens valves – much
like a saxophone or a large pipe organ – to change the sound of the car based
on the mood of the driver.
While these
designers continue to offer the best muscle car sounds in the world, they also
realize that loud engine revving ranks among the most annoying noises neighbors
make, alongside other common nuisances including power tools, barking dogs, and
band practice.
Which is
why the experts at Ford also offer a switch on the center console of the 2018
Ford Mustang to instantly change the sound from normal, louder and more
aggressive sport and track settings, as well as a quiet mode so that your
boring neighbors, who don’t appreciate a real mean machine, won’t call the
cops.
