Abstract:
Exemplary road and engine 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, directly picking up engine noise from an engine of the vehicle to generate a second sense signal representative of the engine noise, 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 from the combination signal, converting the filtered combination signal provided by 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 noise at the listening position.

Claim (Index 9):
A road and engine noise control method comprising:\n directly picking up road noise from a structural element of a vehicle to generate a first sense signal representative of the road noise, directly picking up engine noise from an engine of the vehicle to generate a second sense signal representative of the engine noise; 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; performing broadband active noise control filtering to generate a filtered combination signal from the combination signal; and converting the filtered combination signal provided by the active noise control filtering into anti-noise and radiating the anti-noise to a listening position in an interior of the vehicle; wherein the filtered combination signal is configured so that the anti-noise reduces the road noise and engine noise at the listening position.
