Abstract: Intake noise suppression techniques for a forced-induction engine having a low pressure exhaust gas recirculation (LPEGR) system configured to recirculate exhaust gas produced by the engine to an intake system of the engine via an EGR port comprise receiving, from a mass air flow (MAF) sensor of the engine, a MAF signal indicative of measured airflow through the intake system, detecting, based on the MAF signal, intake system conditions that are indicative of audible noise, and in response to detecting the detected intake system conditions that are indicative of audible noise, at least partially closing a differential pressure (dP) valve to mitigate or eliminate the intake system conditions and the corresponding audible noise, wherein the MAF sensor is disposed in the intake system upstream from the dP valve.
