An example active road noise control includes generating with a sensor arrangement a primary sense signal representative of at least one of accelerations, motions and vibrations that occur at a first position, and providing a noise reducing signal by processing the primary sense signal according to an adaptive mode of operation or a non-adaptive mode of operation. It further includes generating within the vehicle body noise reducing sound at the second position from the noise reducing signal, evaluating the primary sense signal and controlling the processing of the primary sense signal so that the primary sense signal is processed in the adaptive mode of operation when the magnitude of the primary sense signal undercuts a first threshold and in the non-adaptive mode of operation when the magnitude of the primary sense signal exceeds a second threshold, the first threshold being equal to or smaller than the second threshold.
