Abstract
A system and method for reducing noise from an internal combustion engine using a duct housing receiving induction air flow to the engine. A space is defined within the duct housing surrounding a speaker enclosure associated with a speaker facing an open space upstream of the annular space. A sound transducer at the axial location where the annular space opens into the open space generates electrical signals corresponding to engine noise propagating through the air induction ducting. The signals are amplified and phase shifted driving the speaker to output cancelling noises or sounds so as to at least reduce engine noise from the annular space. The speaker enclosure length is set to enhance speaker performance in selected frequency bands of engine noise.
