Abstract

The noise generated by internal combustion engine is reduced by passive muffling systems. For the passive muffling system, its performance significantly degrades especially when multiple low frequency tonal components exist in the flow. The tonal components occur from explosion process of the engine, and radiates as a monopole from the outlet. In this study, active noise cancelation using FxLMS algorithm is proposed to reduce the exhaust engine noise. Air-horn which is capable of being operated at high temperatures is proposed for cancelation of the radiated noise. The vibration input the diaphragm of the air-horn allowed the active control of the frequency and phase of the radiated sound. The FxLMS algorithm was used to actively control the sound radiation from the air-horn to achieve cancelation of the noise from the muffler. The sound radiation from the air-horn induces dipole-like noise radiation from the exhaust system, and significantly reduced the radiated sound power.
