Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS)
We develop and integrate customized AVAS sound systems for any platform, ensuring compliance with international regulations while standing out from the crowd
External Acoustic Alert System (AVAS)
Unlike traditional combustion engines, electric vehicles are nearly silent. While this enhances comfort for drivers and passengers, it poses a potential risk to pedestrians and cyclists.
To enhance safety, all new electric and hybrid cars are equipped with AVAS systems (UNECE R138 and FMVSS 141), emitting sound at low speeds to alert road users.

AVAS as Part of a Vehicle’s Identity
Beyond safety, AVAS sound can contribute to a vehicle’s brand identity. A well-crafted, balanced tone can serve as a distinctive signature, immediately recognizable as part of a specific brand.
Achieving this within technical limitations is a challenge tackled by engineers at SPB Audio Lab Bulgaria.
