The new Active Road Noise Canceling (ARNC) technology from Silentium is used for this. Vibrations of the wheels are measured, and in the interior the tire and road noises are drowned out by the sound system with anti-noise. This should work in real time, including in sudden potholes, writes Jaguar Land Rover.

Passengers in the quiet bubble In the new car models, the technology is combined with noise suppression for the engine. It is intended to reduce noise peaks by 10 dB and the overall noise level by 3 to 4 dB. The counter noises are adapted to the number of occupants, which is determined by sensors on the seat belts. An individual “Quiet Bubble” is generated around each passenger with the help of sophisticated algorithms over the loudspeakers.

Jaguar Land Rover isn’t the first automaker to adopt noise cancellation. In Ford cars, three microphones pick up normal ambient noise, such as tires and wind. About the Lauts
