    摘要: An air brake sound system configured to discharge compressed air to simulate an air brake system on a vehicle that does not employ air brakes. The system includes at least one air receiver tank for housing pressurized gas, at least one discharge tank, and a series of valves for controlling the flow and discharge of pressurized gas during fill events and discharge events. Some embodiments further include an air compressor for refiling the air receiver tank. With a multitude of discharge tanks set adjacent to a vehicle's tires, the system can mimic the sound profile of a vehicle with air brakes.

    摘要: A dynamic combustion engine sound broadcasting device for making an electric motor vehicle (EMV) sound like an internal combustion engine vehicle (ICEV) includes an electronics module (EM), which is mountable to the EMV. The EM comprises a set of sensors and a digital to analog converter (DAC), which are operationally engaged to a computer. Each sensor is operationally engageable to a respective operating element of the EMV to measure a performance parameter and to generate an output signal. An algorithm on the computer pairs each output signal with an associated sound, corresponding to a sound produced by a respective mechanical element of a reference ICEV at a respective performance level, and generates a composite digital signal. The sounds are retained on the computer as digital audio signals in a plurality of data sets. The DAC converts the composite digital signal to an analog signal for broadcast by a speaker.
