How do you block undesirable sounds while still preserving those you want? It was a confounding question, to say the least. Yet an intriguing challenge that drove Infiniti engineer Mr. Daisuke Ochi to help develop the remarkable Active Noise Control system available in the all-new Infiniti M®. Unlike typical noise-cancellation methods, he knew merely quieting the cabin with insulation wouldn’t do. Instead he sought a much more ingenious technology. And from his years of studying vibration engineering, he knew exactly where to look. “Sound is a vibration. A vibration is a wave. Waves can cancel out competing waves,” stated Mr. Ochi. ® Working with a team of audio specialists, including Bose engineers, an advanced sonic technology was devised. One that not only targets and eliminates specific sound waves, but also enhances the auditory sensation of the M’s trademark engine note. The system does this by continuously monitoring engine RPM to identify unwanted low-frequency engine noise. Then the speakers in the doors emit opposing sound waves, effectively canceling each other out. The result is a harmonic engine note that ascends sonically for a smooth, invigorating resonance, especially appreciated at higher RPMs when merging onto highways or passing other vehicles. In the end, you’re rewarded with the sounds you want to hear. And shielded from those you don’t. Most of all, Infiniti’s Active Noise Control system delivers a truly immersive, multi-sensory driving experience. One crafted to move you in a way no other vehicle has before.
