Abstract:
In a vehicle equipped with a vehicle sound system, determining a virtual fixed gear ratio; determining a virtual RPM based on the virtual fixed gear ratio; generating a set of harmonic signals based on the virtual RPM, the harmonic signals being sine-wave signals proportional to harmonics of the virtual RPM; processing the harmonic signals to produce a set of processed harmonic signals; and in the vehicle sound system, transducing the processed harmonic signals to acoustic energy thereby to produce an engine sound within a passenger cabin of the vehicle.

Claim (Index 6):
An engine sound management system of a vehicle equipped with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and a vehicle sound system, the engine sound management system comprising:\n circuitry for determining if sound correction is necessary, and if sound correction is necessary, for generating one or more harmonic signals based on an actual, measured RPM, the one or more harmonic signals being proportional to harmonics of the actual RPM; and circuitry for causing the vehicle sound system to transduce the one or more harmonic signals to acoustic energy to thereby produce a shift in perceived pitch within the vehicle.
