An adaptive feed-forward active control system for improving the sound quality of vehicle engine noise is presented in this paper. Based on the narrow-band and periodic properties of engine noise, an artificial waveform, which was synthesized with sinusoidal components at the fundamental frequency of the engine noise and its harmonics, was adopted as the reference signal. Then these primary noise components were canceled via an adaptive notch filter bank, the coefficients of which were updated using the FXLMS algorithm. The core of the designed system is a new algorithm for improving the quality characteristics of the residual noise by adjusting the gain values of the noise component at each reference frequency. The feasibility and advantages of the designed system were validated through both simulation and practical vehicle tests.
