Abstract:
Audio-derived information is provided to a vehicle control system of a vehicle by attaching a microphone externally to a vehicle to generate an analog signal in response to sound waves external to the vehicle. An enclosure containing sound-attenuating material mechanically filters low frequency sounds from reaching the microphone transducer. An analog-to-digital converter converts the analog signal to a digital signal. A vehicle data bus transfers the digital signal to the vehicle control system.

Claim (Index 24):
The system of  claim 23  further comprising an apparatus for physically filtering sound to the at least one microphone, the apparatus comprising:\n (a) a front enclosure in front of the microphone, wherein the front enclosure defines an acoustic chamber in front of the transducer, and wherein the front enclosure defines at least one port opening allowing sound waves to travel into the acoustic chamber to the microphone; and \n (b) a sound-attenuating material disposed within the acoustic chamber to absorb sound entering the acoustic chamber before impinging on the transducer.
