Abstract:
A sound-modulating window assembly, as well as systems and methods of using and operating the same, are disclosed herein. The sound-modulating window assembly can include sensors, a controller, and a sound modulation assembly. The sound-modulating window assembly The sound-modulating window assembly can receive information about one or more sounds in a vehicular environment. Then, the sound-modulating window assembly can produce a modulation profile. The modulation profile can be used by the sound modulation assembly to alter one or more characteristics of the windows, such that the sounds are mitigated or minimized.
