We sit down with some of the people who are creating the sound systems in Toyota and Lexus vehicles and they teach us about everything that goes into designing, creating, and testing car sound systems — from the trained listeners who are actually paid to sit in cars and listen to music (that’s gotta be a dream job for a lot of teenagers out there), to how they make sure those thumping bass speakers don’t make your car rattle louder than the music, and beyond.

Our guests are Nicki Cogar (Senior Audio Evaluation Engineer, Toyota Research & Development),  Brad Hamme (Senior Manager of Acoustic Engineering, HARMAN International), and Kyle Roche (Product Planning Manager, HARMAN International).
