The system is called the Sound Symposer, which is a box with four chambers, two in the engine bay and two outside. The chambers are separated by a movable flap that opens when the engine is under high load, so that sound is transmitted to the outlet chambers. The system boosts engine volumes into passenger compartment in 200-to-450-Hz frequency range.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the youtube videos to hear it work.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Aez5gEbQeiw\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And you watch an advert for the Focus.<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PSdKPL6QldQ\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nSee also stories on <a href=\"http:\/\/media.ford.com\/article_display.cfm?article_id=36499\">Ford Media Release<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sae.org\/mags\/AEI\/9977\">SAE<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ford Europe has developed a tailored engine noise for the new Ford Focus powered by a 1.6-L EcoBoost engine.
