Jaguar Land Rover on Friday revealed a new noise
cancellation technology that will remove unwanted road and tyre sounds from the
cabin. The noise cancellation will provide a quieter and ‘more refined
experience for drivers and passengers.’

The technology, which is introduced on the new Jaguar
F-PACE, new Jaguar XF and Range Rover Velar, is capable of lowering unwanted
noise peaks by 10dB and overall noise levels by 3-4dB. According to the
official website of the company, it is equivalent of lowering the in-car sound
system by four ‘steps’.

How it works:

Enabled by Silentium’s Active Acoustics tech, the Active
Road Noise Cancellation, ‘uses sensors on each wheel to constantly monitor the
vibrations from the road surface and calculates the opposite phase sound wave
needed to remove the noise heard by the occupants.’

The real-time monitoring will help the technology remove
unexpected noises.

The cancellation sound is played through the Meridian sound
system, with the vehicle monitoring cabin occupancy to optimise Active Road
Noise Cancellation performance for all drivers and passengers.

The tech is combined with Engine Noise Cancellation on the
new Jaguar F-PACE and new Range Rover Velar with the P400e plug-in hybrid
(PHEV) powertrain.
