Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide occupant-based audio for enclosed environments. For example, an apparatus having an enclosure and one or more speakers may determine a location and/or an identity of an occupant within an enclosed environment defined by the enclosure, and operate the one or more speakers to provide audio output to the location of the occupant. The apparatus may also operate the one or more speakers to reduce the audio output to one or more other locations within the enclosure, such as to one or more non-occupant locations and/or to one or more locations of one or more other occupants. The audio output may be occupant-specific audio output, such as a personalized notifications, in one or more implementations.

Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide directional audio for enclosed environments. In one or more implementations, an apparatus may include an enclosed environment, and one or more a dual directional speakers, one or more ringed arrays of speakers, one or more isobaric cross-firing speakers, and/or one or more door-mounted speaker arrays that are operable to direct sound to one or more desired locations within the enclosed environment.
