Powertrain noise is a major component of vehicle interior noise and thus has a significant effect on the overall sound quality. It is typically dominated by harmonics in the lower audible frequency range, which are directly related to the engine firing orders. In order to achieve a more comfortable environment and pleasing driving experience, an active noise control (ANC) applying advanced filtered-x least mean squares (FXLMS) algorithm is employed to reduce the vehicle interior noise by targeting these harmonics. The proposed ANC system is designed to control multiple orders of the engine noise response simultaneously. It is also uniquely formulated with a twin-FXLMS algorithm to prevent harmonic interference that often resulted in overshoot at some adjacent orders, especially at low engine speed range where the reference sinusoids are close together. In fact, the interference issue is one of the critical problems that previously plagued the use of the conventional FXLMS algorithm. The basic design of the twin-FXLMS algorithm splits the adaptive filter into two sets. This allows different sum of reference sinusoids to be fed into each adaptive filter in order to widen the frequency separation between two adjacent harmonics. Finally, the performances of proposed twin-FXLMS are validated by numerical simulations.
