Abstract
A noise and vibration sensor arrangement which is configured to operate with a road noise control system, and includes four acceleration sensors each configured to generate at least one output signal representative of at least one of accelerations, motions and vibrations that act on the respective acceleration sensor. The arrangement includes a vehicle subframe structure having a shape that is axisymmetric to a first axis and that has a maximum extent along a second axis. The first and the second axis are perpendicular. The four sensors are attached to the subframe structure at positions that correspond to four corners of a virtual rectangle. The virtual rectangle has two perpendicular centerlines, one of the centerlines being in line with the first axis of the subframe structure. The extent of the virtual rectangle along the other centerline is less than fifty percent of the subframe structure's maximum extent along the second axis.
