Safety & Performance Sound Systems for the next generation of hybrid and electric vehicles
WHITE PAPER: Electric Vehicles Need Engine Sounds
Sounds for electric cars should have the characteristics of engine sounds which alternate in pitch, frequency and volume in relation to speed and acceleration. These are just some of the conclusions found in “White paper on external sounds for electric cars”, the first report on sound design and requirements for sound systems in electric and hybrid cars. ECTunes in cooperation with research institute DELTA SenseLab are responsible for this significant report.

INTELLIGENT SOUND IMPROVES SAFETY ON ELECTRIC TRUCKS
After a test period with a sound system developed by ECTunes Aps, specialists in sound systems for electric and hybrid vehicles, Danish company Hydro Aluminium Precision Tubing Tønder A/S has installed artificial sound in their electric forklift trucks.

Nordisk Ministerråd have just announced that they will fund an analytical project about the use of electric vehicles in inner city distribution. The project – SAFE Urban Logistics – has participation of the Danish businesses Bright Ignite, ECOmove, ECTunes, Arla Foods, and Post Danmark as well as Swedish Stockholm Kommun and Grønn Bil from Norway.
The Nordic SAFE Urban Logistics project will investigate the issue that a continually rising number of gasoline driven vehicles in inner metropolises across the world are a problem for both inhabitants and the environment.
ECTUNES External Sound Demo Systems are now available for sale including control box, amplifiers, speakers and connector to CanBus. Contact us for more details.
ECTUNES has installed demo systems in Citroen C1 EVs, MegaVan and several other passenger and commercial EVs. Contact us to schedule a demonstration.

Founded by experts in acoustics, sound engineering and electric vehicle technology, ECTUNES represents a vision to make the next generation of vehicles safer and more fun to drive.
We design and manufacture innovative high performance safety sound systems as a solution to the growing concern quiet-running vehicles pose to pedestrians, children and cyclists and in particular the visually impaired.
With an innovative solution based on an external sound system that generates synthetic vehicles sounds and an optional internal solution with traditional engine speed and throttles sounds, ECTUNES preserves the popular benefits of silent cars while increasing pedestrian safety and enhancing the driving experience.
The increased focus on global warming, together with the rise in oil prices is drawing people towards more environmental friendly electric and hybrid vehicles.
As a result pedestrian safety is a growing concern due to the almost silent operation of these vehicles.
Children, pedestrians, cyclists and especially the blind and partially sighted people may be put at risk as they cannot hear these quiet vehicles approaching, making crossing the streets dangerous.
This problem is gaining recognition, but there are currently no product solutions available.
ECTunes is the intelligent solution to this growing concern.

ECTunes introduces a new technology which brings intelligent sound to electric and hybrid vehicles. The system interprets input from the vehicle and translates it into intelligent sound that adjusts to the direction, speed and acceleration of the vehicle.
The systems include the most advanced external loudspeakers, designed to withstand any weather condition and at the same time only direct sound in the driving direction – and nowhere else. Combined with digital amplification and advanced signal and sound processing the system provides the best possible performance under any condition. The system is easily accessed via a mobile device or integration with the cars infotainment system.
ECTUNES is a complete hardware and software solution to integrate into electric vehicles and hybrids:
ECTunes is available in the following solutions:
