The listed songs allow for evaluating the sound of vocals of each performer as well as different musical instruments including electrical guitars, percussions, bass etc.
Matt who spends most of his working day listening to different songs in upcoming Chevrolet models has a wonderful ear for car music. He says, “It’s definitely not an easy job. We spend a huge amount of time tuning sound systems for ambiance and clarity, so that sitting in a car like the Chevrolet Cruze sounds like sitting in the front row at a concert hall. Test driving the sound system when you’re car shopping is an important ‘buy button’ that can be as key to your long-term satisfaction as checking out how well the vehicle handles. We set out to deliver a far better audio experience.”
And it’s true since the mentioned TOP 10 was used in the period of sound testing of a new models that will soon be rolled out in the UK market.
