1. A system comprising:
- a controller configured to, in response to a charge for a vehicle battery exceeding a first threshold, activate a transducer to produce a first user-specified sound to indicate that the charge has exceeded the first threshold, and in response to the charge exceeding a second threshold, activate the transducer to produce a second user-specified sound different than the first to indicate that the charge has exceeded the second threshold.

Abstract
A vehicle includes an audio transducer and a controller. The controller is configured to, in response to a state of charge (SOC) of a battery crossing a charge level threshold (CLT) set by a user of the vehicle, activate the audio transducer to generate an indication that the SOC has crossed the CLT and that is defined by data provided by the user and linked with the CLT according to a rule specified by the user.
