Fine.   I will.  In the Spring 1989 of "Details on Signal Processing",
a quarterly newsletter published by Texas Instruments, there is an 
article entitled _TMS320, the quietest DSP_ .   The article describes
a system developed by Lotus Engineering and the Institute of Sound and 
Vibration Research of Southampton University.  The system actively 
cancels noise inside the car at the firing frequency of the engine.
A drawing shows 8 microphones and 4 speakers.  

"Engineers at Lotus have used the system in more than a dozen different
types of cars and have measured substantial reductions in the noise    
levels at critical 'boom' speeds, often as much as 10 or 15 dB."

   For more information, TI suggets you call Lotus Engineering in
England at (0953) 608000.
