radio volume speed adjustment

[closerneil]

2011 v-8 genesis ...not sure if it's my imagination, the settings are correct and the volume on my radio doesn't seem to adjust to speed levels and even stopping. Have other drivers found this, or should i be bringing the car in for service

If radio volume is designed to change with the speed of the car it's news to me. Mine doesn't. The whole concept sounds fishy to me - since both the audio content and the ambient car noise are both randomly variable, what algorithm would allow the radio to change volume in any useful way? What if you're listening to a quiet passage of music and the radio decides it needs to be louder and then a sudden fortissimo occurs - do you get your eardrums perforated?

It does change with how fast you drive. It is very slight.... only noticable on certain levels. There was a thread about this a while ago..

I agree with Ashdump. I have noticed a very slight change in volume as I slow down / speed up. I don't think there is any way to adjust the settings.

At least one product brochure lists this as a feature. The rest of the brochure seems accurate, so maybe it's true.
I've never noticed any change in volume on my '09.

I haven't noticed this "feature" but my 99 tahoe had it, there was a control knob for it, (and it needed it due to wind noise)...

doesn't mention variable sound but does report 10% THD.. I hope that is a misprint.

If it is not a misprint, Lexicon has taken a big step back to the 1960's in automobile sound quality.
