Noise cancelling Honda cabins

Honda now offers Active Noise Control in their top of the line Odyssey minivans and the new Acura RL luxury sedan. The system uses a microphone to hear what the driver and passengers hear, analyses it with an onboard computer, and pipes out a cancelling sound via the stereo system. The Detroit Free Press found the new Odyssey a bit quieter than the 2004 version, but the reviewer states that the real fun will happen when wind and road noise cancelling systems, now currently in development, are launched.
