Pretty interesting related reading material. http://www.rense.com/general/soundwaves.htm

Serge.......Interesting read. Leave it to our military and government labs to perfect ways to kill people with sound. Come to think of it, though, I've heard a few sound systems that damn near killed me.

Introduced in the '05 Acura RL, and now available in all Acura models, active noise cancellation is said to reduce outside noises and engine noises inside the vehicle cabin. The Bose sound systems in the Acura models use the same type of 180 degree phase shifting as the Bose Quiet Comfort headphones use. Stragically place microphones inside the vehicle monitor noise levels, and using software, a combination of low and higher frequencies are actively canceled. The new Active Sound Control system is much advanced over Acura's previous Active Noise Cancellation system. Where the original noise control system dealt with the elimination of low sound pressure entering the cabin, the new Active Sound Sontrol system has a much broader range including the elimination of unwanted high frequency noise.

Would this type of noise cancellation process be more appealing to you than controlling cabin interior noises with advanced structural and sound insulation designs and materials?

Jdandy: I sold Acuras for two years after I retired. Another interesting tid-bit is their paint process. The RL's four coats of paint are wet sanded between each coat. Very few if any modern production cars recieve that level of detail.

Dan,

You must be bored... do you need a little project to keep you bust til that 220 gets there?

I bring you out here to CA to do a little electrical work on my project...

Stephen.......This thread goes all the way back to January until Tom (tdelahanty) resurrected it today.

Bored? I am never bored. Traveling to California to do electrical work might be interesting. I might have time to scoot up to Napa Valley and visit an old friend.
