Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an engine system comprising an ICE; an exhaust system; and an engine control unit for controlling operation of the engine system between at least a first operating state resulting in a first exhaust temperature range, and a second operating state resulting in a second, higher, exhaust temperature range. The exhaust system comprises a low frequency sound attenuation portion including a first tubing section having a first flow area; a second tubing section, having a second flow area smaller than the first flow area; and a third tubing section having a third flow area greater than the second flow area. The low frequency sound attenuation portion is dimensioned to achieve laminar flow through the third tubing section when the engine system is in the first operating state; and turbulent flow through the third tubing section when the engine system is in the second operating state.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device in a silencer unit of an automotive vehicle, for suppressing unwanted noise originating from an exhaust gas flow from the vehicle engine, said silencer unit being terminated by an end pipe, through which said exhaust gas flow is conveyed to the surroundings. The invention is characterized by the end pipe comprising at least one perforated section having a predetermined extension (L2) in the longitudinal direction of the end pipe, and being positioned downstream of a point (L3) along the end pipe where there is substantially no turbulence in the exhaust flow. Through the invention, an improved silencer unit is provided, with which predetermined requirements for comfort directed low-frequency suppression of the exhaust flow noise, as well as statutory requirements for high-frequency absorption of the noise, are fulfilled.
