For the problem of low−frequency noise suppression in a large area of the vehicle space, this paper proposes a novel multi−channel fractional−order active noise control algorithm and tests its ability for vehicle engine noise cancellation. The algorithm uses fractional−order calculus to replace the integer−order gradient descent to update the weighting coefficients of the filter, thereby avoiding imbalance or over−tuning phenomena during adaptive active noise cancellation and improving the control accuracy of the algorithm. A computer simulation was conducted in the noise cancellation scene of the vehicle, which showed that the algorithm is capable of suppressing single− and mixed−frequency noises, reducing the average sound pressure by approximately 20 dB. The experimental results demonstrated that the algorithm can effectively reduce the peak sound pressure of low−frequency noise for a certain type of vehicle engine by approximately 10 dB, whereas the total sound pressure level is reduced by approximately 4.7 dB.
