Techniques for using acoustic notifications output via a multi-channel speaker configuration for pedestrian notification are described. Computing device(s) can determine a plurality of signals for dynamically emitting a plurality of sounds via a plurality of speakers associated with an acoustic array disposed on a vehicle. Each signal of the plurality of signals can be emitted from speaker(s) of the plurality of speakers that is/are associated with a particular channel of a plurality of channels. Furthermore, the computing device(s) can cause a portion of the plurality of speakers to dynamically emit the plurality of sounds so that the plurality of sounds are spatialized across the at least one surface of the vehicle. As a result, a pedestrian proximate the vehicle can localize the vehicle as a source of the acoustic notification and perceive a size, or other geometric characteristic, of the vehicle.
