Abstract:
A vehicle is provided comprising a cabin area, a steering wheel, a plurality of microphones positioned in the cabin area and configured to have pick-up sensitivity in select directions, and a cue generator configured to provide a haptic cue on the steering wheel in response to a sound detected by the plurality of microphones. Also provided are systems and methods for indicating a detected sound direction in a vehicle. A plurality of microphones are positioned in a vehicle cabin and configured to have pick-up sensitivity in select directions. A comparator is configured to compare the detected audio signals to identify a highest amplitude signal. And a cue generator is configured to provide haptic feedback at a vehicle cabin location associated with the microphone detecting the highest amplitude signal.

Claim (Index 1):
A vehicle, comprising:\n microphones at feedback locations in a cabin collect audio signals; a circuit to identify a primary microphone of the microphones as detecting a highest amplitude primary signal; haptic devices in a steering wheel reflecting the feedback locations; and a cue generator in the steering wheel; response to a sound detected by the plurality:\n select a stored cue using a frequency of the primary signal; and \n provide the cue to one of the haptic devices reflecting the primary microphone.
