Disclosed herein are methods for operating an apparatus for generating acoustic compensation signals used to compensate acoustic signals from operation of a motor-vehicle engine, comprising the steps: providing an EOC device, which is designed to generate acoustic compensation signals used to compensate acoustic signals that result from the operation of the engine; providing a device configured using the EOC device as a model; determining at least one audio signal to be output into a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle by means of an audio output device, before said audio signal is captured by an audio capturing element associated with the EOC device; applying an evaluation specification to evaluate the at least one audio signal with respect to at least one evaluation criterion; generating evaluation information with respect to the at least one evaluation criterion; controlling the operation of the EOC device on the basis of the evaluation Information.
Noise control system
An active noise control unit generates a noise canceling sound of a single frequency that cancels engine sound heard by an occupant and outputs the noise canceling sound to a speaker through an amplifier. A second harmonic detector and a third harmonic detector detect a magnitude of a harmonic component of the noise canceling sound included in sound collected by a microphone. A controller controls a frequency of the noise canceling sound generated by the active noise control unit to a fundamental frequency of the engine sound based on a rotation frequency of the engine, and in addition, causes an output level control unit to control a level of the noise canceling sound to be output to the amplifier so that the level of the noise canceling sound becomes higher when the magnitude of the harmonic component exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
Engine order and road noise control
Exemplary engine order and road noise control systems and methods include directly picking up road noise from a structural element of a vehicle to generate a first sense signal representative of the road noise, detecting harmonics of an engine of the vehicle to generate a second sense signal representative of the engine harmonics, and combining the first sense signal and the second sense signal to provide a combination signal representing the combination of the first sense signal and the second sense signal. The systems and methods further include broadband active noise control filtering to generate a filtered combination signal, and converting the filtered combination signal from the active noise control filtering into anti-noise and radiating the anti-noise to a listening position in an interior of the vehicle. The filtered combination signal is configured so that the anti-noise reduces the road noise and engine sound at the listening position.
DRIVE MODE OPTIMIZED ENGINE ORDER CANCELLATION
Engine order cancellation (EOC) systems generate feed forward noise signals based on the engine or other rotating shaft RPM and use those signals and adaptively configured W-filters to reduce the in-cabin SPL by radiating anti-noise through speakers. An EOC system may include a drive mode detector for detecting different vehicle drive modes based on an analysis of signals indicative of current vehicle operating conditions. Upon detection, the EOC system may adaptively adjust various tuning parameters for the EOC algorithm based on the current vehicle drive mode. The EOC system may also selectively target different sets of engine orders for noise cancellation according to the current vehicle drive mode based on which engine orders are dominant during that drive mode.
