NORMA Group composes engine sound for sports cars
Maintal, 26 January 2012 – NORMA Group delivers soundtracks for high-powered engines: On behalf of a sports car manufacturer NORMA Group AG ('NORMA Group'), a global market and technology leader for engineered joining technology, has developed its first pipe system designed to transmit engine sounds. Drivers of a new upgrade edition of a sports car due to be launched on the German market in the spring will actually be able to hear the high engine power although modern technology and insulation typically shield passengers from engine noises even with high performance. The sound tube will meet a sports car driver's desire to listen to the engine working, thus enjoying the added muscle of the car whenever they like.
The specifically designed NORMAFLUID sound system is an acoustic application that amplifies the sounds of an eight-cylinder engine via a so-called Sound Symposer. Plastic tubes serve as acoustic channels of the exhaust system transmitting the sound from the engine into the cabin. These pipe systems contain membranes and controllable valves that can be activated or deactivated to experience the engine sound by the push of a button located on the centre unit.
Werner Deggim, CEO of NORMA Group, says: 'Developing engine-sound pipe systems for sports cars has been an exciting challenge. This is the first time we are using our joining technology for transporting sounds – instead of fluids and gases. We look forward to developing this product further going forward as we have already received requests for additional models.'
