Roadway noise is the collective sound energy emanating from motor vehicles. It consists chiefly of road surface , tire, engine /transmission, aerodynamic, and braking elements. Noise of rolling tires driving on pavement is found to be the biggest contributor of highway noise and increases with higher vehicle speeds.
Transmission loss (duct acoustics) definition illustration with transmission matrix. The low-frequency approximation implies that each subsystem is an acoustic two-port (or four-pole system) with two (and only two) unknown parameters, the complex amplitudes of two interfering waves travelling in opposite directions.
Active noise cancelling (ANC) is a software process that uses existing in-vehicle infotainment hardware to eliminate undesirable noise within the interior of a vehicle. This elimination technique is known as harmonic order reduction, where unwanted audio signals are identified by sensors and filtered out of the overall interior vehicle sound. [3]

A suite of sound-deadening features called QuietTuning is now standard on all Buick models, including the Rendezvous. QuietTuning consists of laminated front door glass, revised foam sealing for the outside mirrors and door handles, and denser sound-absorbing material inside the hood, on the firewall , and within the instrument panel.
When activated, it opens exhaust valves to the cylinders, right before the compression stroke ends, releasing the compressed gas trapped in the cylinders, and slowing the vehicle. Clessie Cummins was granted a patent for the engine compression brake in 1965, and the first company to manufacture them was Jacobs Vehicle Systems. [1] [2]
