Isolation, quarantine, social distancing… all of these terms have two things in common:
1.) they are necessary and powerful tools that are saving lives in the global battle against Covid-19.
2.) they are cutting people off from one another and generating a sentiment of anxiety and loneliness we cannot ignore.
There is no doubt that staying at home is of the utmost importance as together we begin to turn the tide of the Coronavirus pandemic. But as silence continues to rein in the streets and an eerie calm has replaced the hustle and bustle of our once-frenzied towns and cities, the soul yearns for sound. For connection. For hope.
In this sense, music can be an incredibly potent medicine in this time.

HARMAN International, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. focused on connected technologies for automotive, consumer and enterprise markets, has launched the world’s first active road noise cancellation system for a production vehicle in partnership with Hyundai Motor Company (HMC). The Road-Noise Active Noise Control (RANC) system reduces the in-cabin noise level by cancelling out unwanted sound originating from the tires and road surfaces while driving. The Genesis GV80 SUV, that celebrated its global reveal on January 15 in Korea, is the first production car to feature the technology, which is based on HARMAN’s HALOsonic suite of noise management technologies. In addition to being the first vehicle with RANC, the Genesis GV80 will also incorporate other technologies from HARMAN’s HALOsonic suite of sound management solutions.
