ID. Sound –
The soundtrack to new mobility

The ID. family is heralding the start of a new era in mobility – with dynamic, electric performance, innovative design and now: tone-setting sound design. 

The Volkswagen ID.3 and the display of an audio track
‌

It's safe to say: it's unmistakeable.

In future you will be able to recognise a Volkswagen from the ID. Family approaching at low speed by its unique sound: the ID. Sound. The futuristic composition emphasises its visionary identity, and simultaneously provides an artificially generated vehicle noise as an audible indication of the almost noiseless electric drives for pedestrians and cyclists. The Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) sounds when starting up, at speeds up to 30 km/h and when reversing, and can be heard both inside and outside. 

The sound experience of our ID. models is exciting, unobtrusive and always recognizable.

The sound of the the future

The new ID. Sound gives expression to the unique dynamics of electromobility with multi-layered soundtracks. Curious? Then listen for yourself:

We stay true to both the Volkswagen brand and the character of our electrified model range when we design these sounds - just as we do with the visuals.
