PreSense Drive - Interactive Simulation of Sounds in the Vehicle Interior

October 6, 2025

The latest HEAD acoustics software, PreSense Drive, realistically and interactively simulates the sounds in the vehicle interior, offering users of vehicle simulators a unique immersive experience.

PreSense Drive is an efficient and affordable solution for realistically simulating vehicle noises and sounds. It ensures the highest auralization quality and binaurally calibrated playback on headphones, loudspeakers, and vibration excitation by shakers - for an immersive physical sound experience that gives drivers the feeling of being in a moving vehicle and acting accordingly. PreSense Drive thus provides a realistic basis for designing the sound space, for example, in HMI (Human-Machine Interface), ASD (Active Sound Design), ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), and sound design projects.

PreSense Drive is based on the technology of the PreSense NVH Simulator and uses the same advanced algorithms, operating concepts, data sets, and interfaces. It offers user-friendly operation and can be easily integrated into any driving simulator, e.g., via API such as CAN, gRPC, or IPG CarMaker. Additionally, PreSense Drive is compatible with both conventional vehicles and electric and hybrid vehicles (EVs and HEVs). 

PreSense Drive offers ...

• a cost-effective, realistic sound simulation of the vehicle interior,
• high-quality, lifelike auralization,
• a high degree of immersion,
• effortless integration into vehicle simulators from other manufacturers and
• simple operation.

PreSense Drive simulates the following audio sources:

• Drive train
• Tire/road noise
• Wind noise
• Special events (individual noise events such as indicators, horn, tire and brake squeal, etc.)
• External events (passing vehicles, sirens, tunnel driving, etc.)
