46、er taken preventive or enforcement actionDTo fight a noise by making more noise sounds strange, but thats exactly what motor engineers are doing in Germany and some other countries.Car makers research and development laboratories have already proved that mixing more noise with the help of loudspeake

47、rs can reduce the unwanted noise.Physicists have known about the technique for a long time. Sound is made up of pressure waves in the air. If two sound waves of the same frequency (频率) mix so that the highest point of one wave happens at the same time as the lowest point of the other wave, the resul

48、t is no sound. Therefore, by producing a perfect copy of the noise and delaying it by half a wave cycle (周期), we can kill the unwanted noise. Using this technique many carmakers are racing to develop noise-killing systems (系统) both inside and outside the cars.Another good thing about the use of nois

49、e-killing systems is that it saves the need for a silencer; this not only reduces the weight of a car, but also makes the motor burn less fuel and work better.Some engineers believe that the noise-killing system will be used in most cars within a few years. But the carmakers havent decided if they will carry it into production because it would add several hundred dollars to the cost of their cars.（分数：3.00）(1).Which o
