CT4-V Blackwing Noise Cancellation System

[Emu1342]

Hey everyone,

I’m curious about how the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) system works in the CT4-V Blackwing. Is it specifically designed to reduce engine and exhaust noise, or does it also help with road noise? I know some cars use ANC to cancel out a range of unwanted sounds, but I’m wondering how broad its effect is in this platform. Additionally, is it more about canceling unwanted sound, or is it primarily used to pump exhaust noise into the cabin?

I came across a discussion about disabling ANC for audio upgrades, which got me wondering... how exactly does the system work? For those who have experimented with disabling ANC, did you notice a significant change in overall cabin noise?

I’d love to hear your insights!

Thanks!

I would guess it's primarily noise cancellation for the exhaust, and sound deadening handles most of the road noise. On our tour at Corsa, they mentioned how the ANC was tuned for the OEM exhaust and wouldn't be as effective with their aftermarket design and frequencies.
