Tony M Oct 18, 2011:
@ Magic Words Yes, perhaps, but I think we're getting away from the point: I feel sure the idea here is (at least in part) the absence of car noise — so the only thing you will hear will be... I'm not sure that introducing a new concept of 'compagnon' really helps underline the absence of something else.
Kelly Harrison Oct 18, 2011:
How about 'votre compagnon parfaît' than? I think the idea of a soundtrack is conveyed as far as possible by 'votre musique' which followed by 'vos emotions' has maybe a better ring to it? :)
Tony M Oct 18, 2011:
@ Magic Words Well, not bad — but it does kind of leave out the quite important aspect of "the only thing you'll be hearing"

'compagnon de voyage' sounds a bit to me like "the wife won't stop chattering" ;-)
Kelly Harrison Oct 18, 2011:
Alors qu'en pensez vous de 'Votre compagnon de voyage. Vos emotions. Votre musique.' tout simplement?
Tony M Oct 18, 2011:
Being used figuratively I just think it is necessary here to avoid being too literal; I don't think 'soundtrack' here means 'the background usic of a film' (as it usually does in FR), but rather 'the sound accompanying a film' (its original meaning) — i.e. the sound that is going to be accompanying your journey.

Anything that sticks too closely to the original is IMHO doomed to failure in this sort of marketing text.
Jean-Paul ROSETO (asker) Oct 18, 2011:
what do you mean Tony M?
Tony M Oct 18, 2011:
My reading What they mean by this is "What are you going to be hearing?" — i.e. our car is so quiet, you won't hear it, just... the things you want to hear.

bande sonore

C'est une image. L'auteur fait référence à la bande sonore d'un film, pour suggérer que chaque voyage soit défini par la musique écouté et les émotions qui l'accompagnent.
Example sentence:

La bande sonore de tous vos voyages. vos émotions, votre musique.

pour vos voyages, vos émotions et musique

il me semble que sound ici n'a aucun rapport avec le son ou la musique - je me trompe peut-être
