Abstract
Various systems and methods are presented regarding utilizing technology to determine a vehicle occupant's reaction to a soundscape present in a passenger compartment in which they are located. Sound waves present in the soundscape can result for sources internal and external to the vehicle, as well as sound waves transmitted into the passenger compartment as part of an audio technique, such as audio suppression, audio enhancement, anti-noise, audio cancellation, etc. Occupant feedback can be via a button, gesture recognition, speech, a physical condition, and suchlike, and can indicate approval or disapproval of the soundscape. Location of the vehicle can be determined based on GPS data, images of the operating environment, etc. The network of devices can be clocked with a common protocol to enable synchronization of fused data.
