  • Apparatus for the active control of the sound of the engine of a land vehicle and corresponding method
    Patent number: 11062690
    Abstract: Described herein is an apparatus for active control of the sound of the engine of a land vehicle, which comprises a device for detecting a fundamental frequency of the sound of the engine, and comprises a generator of signals representing sound waves that have spectral characteristics that depend upon the aforesaid fundamental frequency. The apparatus comprises a modulator, which includes a module that applies a modulation to said waveforms so as to control a value of roughness or fluctuation strength of an audio signal for driving an actuator, which generates an engine noise.
    Type: Grant
