Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method for determining an arrangement of reference sensors for active road noise control (ARNC) in a vehicle with an automatic calibration system. The method includes mounting a plurality of vibrational sensors on a plurality of structure elements of the vehicle to generate a plurality of vibrational input signals and mounting at least one microphone inside a cabin of the vehicle to capture at least one acoustic input signal. The method further includes determining an arrangement of reference sensors from the plurality of vibrational sensors by determining a subset of vibrational sensors which sense the main mechanical inputs of road noise contributing to the at least one acoustic input signal.
