1. A roof of a vehicle, comprising:
a panel, and
a plurality of audio devices, each audio device of the plurality of audio devices being either a loudspeaker or an actuator, the actuator being located on the panel, the panel being a glazing and capable of vibrating,
wherein the panel has a quadrilateral shape with a first edge, a second edge, a third edge and a fourth edge, which are consecutive, the plurality of audio devices comprising:
a first audio device positioned on the panel, in a peripheral first zone adjacent to the first edge of the panel, said first zone having a width along a direction orthogonal to the first edge less than or equal to 50 cm, and
a second audio device positioned on the panel, in a peripheral second zone adjacent to the third edge of the panel, said second zone having a width along a direction orthogonal to the third edge less than or equal to 50 cm, and
wherein the roof further comprises at least one actuator that, when actuated, generates low frequencies, the at least one actuator being located on the panel, in a peripheral third zone adjacent to the second edge of the panel, said third zone having a width along a direction orthogonal to the second edge less than or equal to 50 cm.
