US Patent 11548423 Method for controlling at least two mechanical oscillators

A method for controlling at least two mechanical oscillators, more particularly in a motor vehicle, where each oscillator oscillates at a frequency during operation and where the frequency can be controlled by the power applied to the oscillators, includes arranging a single sound transducer at a distance from the oscillators and capturing an electrical signal, where the electrical signal is subjected to a Fourier transform and thus a Fourier spectrum is determined. The frequency of each oscillator is determined from extreme values of the Fourier spectrum.
