Jaguar - The Art of Sound

The Art of Sound by Jaguar F-TYPE SVR demonstrates the science of cymatics and making sound waves visible. The sonic experiment was constructed at Jaguar Land Rover’s semi-anechoic chamber at Gaydon. This precision facility usually measures and tests sound via microphones, so a completely visual set-up was new to them. The 575PS Jaguar F-TYPE SVR was placed on a rolling road and surrounded in a grid by twenty-eight 1m square Chladni plates.

F-TYPE SVR is the ultimate expression of Jaguar, with an exhaust note that in itself is a work of art. Watch as the science of Cymatics is used to visualise the utterly distinctive sound of F-TYPE SVR's Titanium Active Sports Exhaust. A visual spectacle created by Jaguar's fastest and most powerful production car.

As the car accelerated, the visual magic happened as each plate responded perfectly and precisely to the exhaust note. Twenty-eight repeated patterns formed and danced across the vibrating surfaces in a direct visual response to the exhaust note.
