  • System for influencing exhaust noise in a multi-flow exhaust system
    Patent number: 9706295
    Abstract: An anti-noise system for influencing exhaust noises propagating through a multi-flow exhaust system includes a controller 80 and at least one actuator. The at least one actuator is disposed in a sound generator 20; 21; 23; 25; 27, connected to the controller 80 for receiving control signals, and adapted to generate sound inside the sound generator 20; 21; 23; 25; 27. The sound generator 20; 21; 23; 25; 27 is connectable to at least two exhaust tracts 60, 61 of the multi-flow exhaust system of the vehicle simultaneously. The controller 80 is configured to generate a control signal that prompts the at least one actuator disposed in the sound generator 20; 21; 23; 25; 27 to cancel sound inside the at least two exhaust tracts 60, 61 of the vehicle's multi-flow exhaust system at least in part and preferably completely.
