Roger’s Guest Interview with Mechanical Engineering Student Kyle Laemmle
We are proud to showcase here for the very first time, a podcast created by Kyle Laemmle, a mechanical engineering student at Miami University of Ohio, entitled “Sound Engineering in Cars.” Originally created for his comparative media studies class project in May 2021, this podcast delves into the automotive audio space, asking questions ranging from “what do sound engineers do to protect our ears in the event of a car crash” to “what types of artificial sounds are created for cars, and why?"

In his own words, Kyle had this to say about his class project:
“The project started as a final project for a comparative media studies class at Miami University that examined the effects of media and technology on the way we hear sound and music. As I was struggling to come up with a topic I decided to focus on my main interests and major as a mechanical engineer. This project went from one of dread to a passion project when I found the right topic, one which I was interested in that others knew little to nothing about. In the end it turned from a class assignment to a passion project that let me experiment with what I loved about both sound and engineering. The interview with you really helped make the project something meaningful to both myself and the listener, thank you so much, again, for your time.”
Roger was proud to be Kyle’s guest on the show, and we are proud to be the first to publish this acoustics-based podcast.
