The patent details a second tunnel operating mode, designed specifically to suppress cabin noise. When the driver is notified that a tunnel is approaching, they will have the choice to activate this alternate mode, which does the opposite of what has been described above to keep the cabin as quiet and comfortable as possible. <\/p>\n<p data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\" data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\">This includes closing up the exhaust valve (if applicable), sealing the windows, and perhaps selecting a relaxed drive mode. In addition, acoustic sensors detect and analyze external noise, after which an inverted acoustic signal is generated and pumped through the speakers.
