Abstract
The disclosure concerns a method for recognizing driving noise in a sound signal that is acquired by a microphone disposed in a vehicle. The sound signal originates from the surface structure of the road. According to the disclosure, a segment of the road lying ahead of the vehicle in the direction of travel is observed with a sensor installed in or on the vehicle. Using the observation data obtained, the start and duration of driving noise originating from the surface structure of the road are predicted.
