The objective of this paper is to show the feasibility of active control of tonal noise from automotive engine cooling fans using a single unbaffled loudspeaker in front of the fan. A simplified model is described for preliminary design using this configuration. A single input single output (SISO) filtered X-LMS has been implemented to control the first tones in real time. At the error microphone, the sound pressure attenuation at blade passage frequency (BPF) and its first harmonics are reduced down to the broadband noise level. At low frequency, for large sound wavelength compared to the fan radius, the sound radiation is reduced in all directions, since the dipolar directivity of the secondary noise emitted by the unbaffled loudspeaker is similar to the directivity of the primary noise emitted by the fan.
