Owners of a Tesla Model S and Model X can now try the “Active Road Noise Reduction”. As with ANC headphones, road noise is eliminated using noise canceling.

- Telsa has started to roll out the Active Road Noise Reduction feature via update.
- If the function is activated, the noise level in the interior should decrease.
- The effect is known from ANC headphones. The function is available for newer Model S and Model X.
Tesla introduces the Active Road Noise Reduction feature for Model S and Model X. Anyone who has ever tried ANC headphones knows what to expect. It’s about reducing background noise, in this case road noise.
The ARNR feature is intended to come into play primarily on poor road surfaces. The microphones in the seats in the Tesla Model S and Model X continuously measure the interior volume. Tesla’s own algorithm then tries to calculate a counter-noise that is output via the vehicle’s loudspeakers.
The feature is only available in the facelifted versions of the Model S and Model X, since in Model 3 and Model Y no corresponding microphones were installed in the front seats.
First users describe a noticeable, albeit not particularly large, effect. However, Tesla is known for improving features little by little. Upcoming updates could therefore further expand the noise canceling function.
