Is active noise cancellation still on the table?

It might make a tire/wheel selection difference for me.

Haven't seen confirmation, but I would assume so. It's fairly standard in vehicles at this price point, and with how little noise EVs make, I would think ANC would be used to improve cabin experience.

Rivian has said they would share performance metrics -- including cabin noise levels related to tire choice -- soon.

I know they market "cabin correction", but I believe that's just tuning the system to the specific acoustics of the cabin.

Rivian has focused on NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) & benchmarked against some great vehicles, so I'm hoping cabin noise won't be significant.

Meridian is excellent with DSP though, and there will be microphone(s)...maybe ANC is a possibility.

However, I plan to use ASV (active stereo volume) to eliminate any outside noise.

Is this the same thing as put in Metallica and turn it up to 11? If so...I'm gonna do the same thing!

With my Tesla’s, I’ve had Blue Streak and Red Lightning. For the R1S, I am thinking Green Machine.

I hear ya' on that one! ?

I was in the vehicle while charging last night and couldn't help but notice white noise coming through the speakers. I did not find any way to turn it down or disable. I was not previously aware of any such noise.

The only time I have had that happen was when I left the ventilated seats on... Much louder than I thought they would be and confused me for a second. Maybe you had the same experience?

I had jeans on, I definitely had the seats cooling...now I will have to check and report back to see if that is actually what it was

I keep thinking about what Rivian will include in a pay-to-upgrade software update. New driving modes makes sense. Active noise cancellation could too. I wonder if there are ways to make the ride extra smooth with the air suspension. CarPlay, browser, games, waze access. Lots of possibilities

The air seats are the loudest I've ever heard. Had those in my 2012 5 Series and they made virtually zero noise. The Rivian's sound like a gaming PC fans from 1998. But I don't hear them as much as I hear the wind noise blasting through my passenger door window. (have a ticket open about that one) Doubt anything can be done about our air seats.

Don't know if noise cancelling would help at all but I'd certainly like that feature.

Confirmed...seat coolers!
