Mercedes Pre-Safe Sound - Pink Noise

[MancMike]

Interesting, if you know your pink noise from your brown(ian) or white noise.

Pink noise — which Mercedes calls “Pre-Safe Sound” in its marketing — is unique in that its power is inversely proportional to the signal. When it hits the ear, it triggers muscles in the ear to contract by reflex, automatically bracing the inner ear and eardrum for the extremely loud noise of the crash by reflecting some of the sound before it reaches the point where it could cause problems.
