Abstract
A Fourier Transform (FT) module configured to determine amplitudes of acceleration at predetermined orders, respectively, by performing a FT on a plurality of values of acceleration associated with a wheel. An order module is configured to identify one of the predetermined orders where one of the amplitudes is greater than a predetermined value and to, based on the one of the amplitudes and a rotational speed of the wheel, determine an order of a frequency corresponding to the rotational speed of the wheel. A sound control module is configured to set characteristics for outputting sound at the order of the frequency corresponding to the rotational speed of the wheel. An audio driver module is configured to, based on the characteristics, apply power to a speaker within a passenger cabin of the vehicle at the order of the frequency corresponding to the rotational speed of the wheel.
