Roof structure (1) for a vehicle, wherein the roof structure (1) comprises a roof sky (2), wherein the roof sky comprises a foam or sandwich layer (3) and a surface layer (4) covering the foam or sandwich layer preferably to a vehicle interior and wherein a microphone unit (5) is arranged at the foam or sandwich layer (3), the microphone unit (5) comprises at least one mounting means (6), the foam or sandwich layer (3) comprises at least one recess (7) to receive the at least one mounting means (6) and the mounting means (6) of the microphone unit (5) in a mounted condition of the microphone unit (5) is arranged in the at least one recess (7) thereby holding the microphone unit (5) at the foam or sandwich layer (3).

A magnetic mic mount device is disclosed for a CB radio microphone. The magnetic mic mount device comprises an adjustable magnetic clip component that will hook to a CB radio microphone, or be permanently attached thereto. Once the user has hooked the device to his or her microphone, the user may hang it up on his or her CB radio. The adjustable magnetic clip component comprises a short arm component with a plastic ball and nut that is adjustable and an attached magnet component. Accordingly, the plastic ball and nut allow the attached magnet component to be positioned in a desired location.

A first seat noise control device corrects sound collected by a microphone to sound at a listening position of a user seated on a first seat, generates a cancel sound that cancels, at the first seat, the sound of a second seat audio source output from a second seat speaker by using an adaptive filter, and outputs the cancel sound from a first seat speaker. A second seat noise control device corrects the sound collected by the microphone to sound at the listening position of the user seated on the second seat, generates a cancel sound that cancels, at the second seat, the sound of a first seat audio source output from the first seat speaker using an adaptive filter, and outputs the cancel sound from the second seat speaker.

A method and system for detecting one or more living beings in a vehicle are disclosed. The vehicle has an engine, a front seat area, and a back seat area. An indication that the engine is off is received via on on-board diagnostics (OBD) device. Whether a first living being is in the front seat area is determined using a first sensor, and whether a second living being is in the back seat area is determined using a second sensor. In response to a that a first living being is not in the front seat area and a second living being is in the back seat area, a first temperature reading for a first temperature inside the vehicle is received and a second temperature reading for a second temperature outside the vehicle is received. A delta between the first temperature and the second temperature is computed. Whether the delta is less than a first threshold is determined. If the delta is less than a first threshold, then an alert is sent via the OBD device to a computing device associated with a user.

The present disclosure relates to a noise control apparatus, vehicle having the same and method for controlling the vehicle to reduce indoor noise. In accordance with an aspect of disclosure, the vehicle collects sound by using a sound collector while driving the vehicle; detects vibration occurring in the vehicle by using a vibration detector; detects an occupant in the vehicle by using an occupant detector; generates a virtual reference signal based on an actual reference signal for the detected vibration; acquires location information of the occupant's ear based on the occupant information; generates a virtual error signal based on the acquired ear location information and the actual noise signal for the collected sound; generates a noise control signal based on the virtual error signal and the virtual reference signal; and outputs the generated noise control signal as sound.

A sound signal control device in a device including an input transducer to detect sound in a space in a vehicle, a sensor to image an occupant in the space, and an output transducer to emit sound into the space includes: a controller to generate information indicating a position of a head of the occupant and information indicating a state of the occupant, based on an image imaged by the sensor; a processor to generate a cancellation signal for cancelling noise at the position based on a sound signal representing sound detected by the input transducer and the information, and generate a control signal for controlling sound at the position based on the cancellation signal; and a converter to cause the output transducer to emit a sound corresponding to the control signal. The processor adjusts a degree to which the noise is cancelled, based on the information indicating the state.

A windscreen with good visibility of light from a light emitting part and a microphone device are provided. The windscreen 20 according to the present invention is a windscreen attached to a microphone 10 including a sound collecting part 111 and 114 configured to collect sound, and a light emitting display part 116 configured to indicate an operation state of the sound collecting part. The windscreen includes a windscreen body 21 that covers the sound collecting part, and a fixing member 22 that fixes the windscreen body to the microphone. The windscreen body includes an insertion hole 21h in which the sound collecting part is disposed. The fixing member includes a light guide part 221 that is disposed outside the insertion hole. The light guide part guides light from the light emitting part.

A method performed by a vehicle system for handling parameters associated with surroundings of a vehicle. The vehicle system obtains information indicating a first parameter associated with the surroundings of the vehicle and sensed by at least one low power sensor. The low power sensor is associated with the vehicle. The vehicle system triggers startup of at least one high power sensor when the first parameter has fulfilled a criteria. The high power sensor consumes a larger amount of power than the low power sensor, and the high power sensor is associated with the vehicle or another vehicle. The vehicle system obtains information indicating at least a second parameter associated with the surroundings of the vehicle and sensed by the high power sensor.

A microphone assembly is disclosed. The microphone assembly includes a first housing part, a second housing part, a microphone capsule and a printed circuit board. The microphone capsule and the printed circuit board are received in an inner space of a housing formed by the two housing parts, which includes a viewing part that can be connected to the housing, as well as at least one first elastic clip element for attaching the microphone assembly to an interior lining.
