The faster you go, the louder the surrounding noises get. Air flowing around the car, tires on the road, etc. They are hard to notice because they build slowly, as your speed increases. Since the radio has a fixed output, (the volume knob), it gets drowned out by the road noises as you drive faster. And when you adjust for this, the radio is suddenly too loud when you stop and those noises go away. Speed compensated volume tries to adjust the radio automatically so it isn't too loud when you slow down, or too soft at higher speeds. If it's doing it's job right, you'll never notice it working.

What does the SCV mean on the radio face of my 2002 Pontiac Sunfire?

What is the difference between an inductively-compensated and a conductively- compensated universal motor.?
An inductively-compensated universal motor uses an additional inductor to compensate for the motor's inductive reactance, improving speed regulation. On the other hand, a conductively-compensated universal motor uses additional resistors to compensate for the motor's armature reaction, enhancing speed control.
What does compensated mean?
If you work for pay, that is an example of compensation.
What natural resource is a cheetah?
They are not the biggest, strongest big cat. But they are well-compensated with speed and stealth and good camouflage.
Does speed of sound have pitch or volume?
"speed" does not have pitch or volume. it is the distance covered over time.
What is Speed sensitive volume control?
If you turn it on, the volume will change depending on your speed to compensate for engine noise.
You were in the hospital for bronchitis and i got fired. can you sue or be compensated?

What does indemnity mean in car insurance?

What is a compensated semiconductor?
compensated semiconductor...SEMICONDUCTORS WHICH CONTAIN BOTH DONOR AND ACCEPTOR DOPANT ATOMS IN SAME REGION IS CALLED COMPENSATED SEMICONDUCTOR.
How does volume affect speed?
In a gas, if volume decreases, the molecules have less space to move and collide with each other more frequently, increasing speed. In a liquid or solid, volume changes typically have less direct impact on speed compared to gases.
How does volume relate to the speed of the river?
cow
