Where is the active noise cancellation system located in the tenth-generation Accord?

The active noise cancellation system in the tenth-generation Accord is located in the driver's seat. During driving, the system generates reverse sound waves equal to external noise, processing incoming noise to achieve active noise cancellation, thereby providing a comfortable riding environment for occupants. The tenth-generation Accord has a body size of 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, and 1449mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2830mm. It is equipped with a 1.5T direct-injection VTEC engine and a CVT continuously variable transmission, delivering a maximum power of 143 kW and a maximum torque of 260 Nm.
The components of the 10th-generation Accord's active noise cancellation system are mainly distributed in several key locations within the cabin. I believe the microphones are typically installed in the headliner near the passenger head area, such as above the roof console or rearview mirror, to capture noise in real time. The speakers are integrated into the audio system in the doors or dashboard, while the system control unit is likely hidden under the glovebox or behind the center console, responsible for processing signals. The working principle of this system is to emit inverse sound waves to counteract engine or wind noise, making the cabin quieter. I feel an overall improvement in driving comfort, especially on highways where noise interference is significantly reduced. In daily use, regularly cleaning dust from these areas and maintaining good cabin sealing can enhance its effectiveness; otherwise, increased background noise may impact performance. Although it doesn’t directly involve safety, noise reduction does help drivers stay more focused, avoid fatigue, and improve the overall driving experience.
