Abstract
A method of verifying audio notifications generated within a vehicle includes generating an audio notification using an audio generation path that includes at least a controller, an audio notification generator and a speaker, wherein the controller generates an audio notification request utilized by the audio notification generator to generate an audio signal, and wherein the speaker converts the audio signal into the audio notification. The method further includes monitoring sounds within the vehicle using a microphone separate from the audio generation path and analyzing the monitored sounds using an audio analyzer, wherein the audio analyzer verifies whether the audio notification was generated. Feedback is provided to the audio generation path regarding whether generation of the audio notification was verified.
