A sound-based sensor is also referred to as capacitive sensors, detects the presence of objects nearby by utilizing an acoustic wave. The sensors employ an oscillator to create the signal, which is transmitted through the air and picked up by the microphone, which then converts it into an audio file. The audio files are evaluated to determine how similar they are and how close they are. When they are close enough that the system sends a wake-up signal to key and transmit an ID signal that matches with the vehicle.
