# Intuitive Car Audio Software The 'YourSound' System Guides Users In Optimizing Their Car Stereo By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2022-07-13 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-audio-software References: [newatlas](https://newatlas.com/electronics/fraunhofer-yoursound-car-audio/) & [idmt.fraunhofer.de](https://www.idmt.fraunhofer.de/en/Press_and_Media/press_releases/2022/sound-personalisation-in-vehicles.html)  A group of engineers over at the [Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immersive-audio-system) in the town of Ilmenau in central Germany have gone ahead and developed a high-tech car audio software program that is designed to be user-friendly even for drivers and passengers who aren't avowed audiophiles or tech specialists. The 'YourSound' system, which is being embedded into cars manufactured by the [Mercedes-Benz Group](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tourguide), allows users to take advantage of a handheld, step-by-step process that allows them to go about selecting their preferred volume for different sound elements. Users are also allowed to choose minimum volumes for different sounds, as well as sound-balancing options. What's great about the 'YourSound' car audio software is that it allows users to achieve the same benefit as intimidating and complex equalizer displays and menus without all the aggravation and confusion.
