Claim Text:
1. A motor vehicle audio system comprising a sound reproduction device comprising: a signal processing chain configured to render an acoustic useful signal for reproduction to a listener; a simulation scenario processor configured to provide auditory scenario information for a simulated auditory scenario, the simulated auditory scenario relating to vehicle noises which may be perceived in a certain state of motion of a motor vehicle inside the passenger area, and the simulated auditory scenario influencing perception, by the listener, of the reproduction of the useful signal and/or defining a useful signal type; a user interface configured to detect reproduction parameter settings from a user which represent an individual preference of the listener in view of the simulated auditory scenario; a signal modifier configured to receive reproduction parameter settings and modify reproduction of the useful signal in dependence on the reproduction parameter settings; a storage for storing the reproduction parameter setting and the auditory scenario information relative to one another; a normal operation scenario interface configured to receive second auditory scenario information for a real auditory scenario which the listener is exposed to at a time during normal operation of the sound reproduction device; a storage access unit for polling the storage with the second auditory scenario information and for providing at least one reproduction parameter setting provided the auditory scenario information of which stored relative to one another are sufficiently similar or identical to the second auditory scenario information; and a reproduction parameter setting rendering configured to establish and provide to the signal modifier, on the basis of the at least one reproduction parameter setting provided, a second reproduction parameter setting for modifying a useful signal during normal operation.
