What is Speed sensitive volume control?

Speed sensitive volume control (SVC) adjusts the volume of your car stereo based on your vehicle's speed. As you drive faster, your stereo reduces the volume to compensate for wind and outside noise. When you reduce your speed, the stereo volume goes back up again. Most new car stereos come with built-in SVC that can easily enable or disable. Here's what you need to know about speed sensitive volume control:

Benefits of SVC:

* Maintains ideal listening levels while you drive at variable speeds.

* Provides clearer overall sound as it keeps outside sound levels consistent

* No need to fiddle with stereo volume every time you accelerate or decelerate

It should be mentioned that some drivers find speed sensitive volume control to hinder driving ability as adjusting levels automatically takes the element of control from the driver.
