A generator set control system for minimizing vehicle noise and vibration. The system has sensors at different locations in a vehicle, a generator set with a generator set speed controller, and a system controller operatively connected to the sensors and to the generator set speed controller. Noise and vibrations are measured by the sensors during startup of the generator set, and the system controller determines which generator set speeds are to be avoided. Optionally, a steady state measurement may be used to determine undesirable generator set speeds. The generator set speed controller is commanded to make the generator set avoid the speeds mentioned. The system may be mounted permanently to the vehicle for subsequent measurements as needed.

1. A generator set control system comprising:one or more sensors disposed in a vehicle, the sensors sensing vehicle noise levels and providing output signals indicative of the vehicle noise levels sensed by the sensors; a system controller operatively connected to the sensors for receiving the output signals from the sensors and operatively connected to a generator set for receiving signals indicative of the generator set speeds of the generator set; the system controller including logic comparing the sensed noise levels to threshold noise levels stored in the system controller, correlating the sensed noise levels to generator set speeds, and determining which generator set speeds to avoid so as to minimize noise; and a generator set speed controller being operatively connected to the generator set, the system controller providing commands to the generator set speed controller on generator set speeds to be avoided.
