What is speed sensitive volume?

Speed-sensitive volume is a feature commonly found in modern vehicles that automatically adjusts the volume of the audio system based on the speed of the vehicle. As the vehicle speeds up, the volume of the audio system increases to compensate for road and wind noise, providing a more consistent listening experience for the driver and passengers.

This feature helps to ensure that the audio remains at a comfortable level regardless of the speed of the vehicle, without the need for manual adjustments by the driver. Speed-sensitive volume can typically be adjusted or disabled through the vehicle's audio or infotainment settings.

Some vehicles may also have a separate feature known as volume compensation, which adjusts the volume based on the amount of ambient noise inside the vehicle, such as conversations or other external sounds. This feature works in conjunction with speed-sensitive volume to provide the best possible audio experience for occupants.
