Abstract
An audio system for a vehicle is described. The audio system includes an audio control computer device and an exterior audio assembly. The audio control computer device is in communication with a memory device. The audio control computer device is configured to store, in the memory device, at least one limited volume level and a corresponding speed range, receive a speed-related parameter indicative of an actual speed of the vehicle from a vehicle control system, determine if the actual speed of the vehicle is within the stored speed range based on the speed-related parameter, and permit operation of the exterior audio assembly at the at least one limited volume level when the actual speed of the vehicle is within the speed range.
