A method of monitoring an operating event of a combustion engine includes receiving a noise signal sensed by a knock sensor disposed in or proximate to the combustion engine, correlating the noise signal with a fingerprint having at least an ADSR envelope indicative of the operating event, and detecting if the operating event has occurred based on the correlating of the noise signal with the fingerprint.

1. A system, comprising: an engine controller configured to monitor a first operating event of a combustion engine, wherein the engine controller comprises a processor configured to: receive a noise signal sensed by a knock sensor disposed in or about a cylinder of the combustion engine;correlate the noise signal with a first fingerprint having at least a first Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release (“ADSR”) envelope indicative of the first operating event; anddetect if the first operating event has occurred based on the correlating of the noise signal with the first fingerprint. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the controller comprises a memory configured to store one or more fingerprints, each fingerprint having a respective ADSR envelope indicative of a corresponding operating event, and wherein the processor is configured to access the memory to correlate the noise signal with the first fingerprint having at least the first ADSR envelope indicative of the first operating event. 3. The system of claim 1, comprising the knock sensor configured to sense the noise signal and a crankshaft sensor configured to sense a crank angle of a crankshaft of the combustion engine. 4. The system of claim 3, wherein the processor is configured to plot the noise signal, or a preconditioned version of the noise signal, against the crank angle, and superimpose the first ADSR envelope over the noise signal or preconditioned noise version of the noise signal. 5. The system of claim 4, wherein the processor is configured to derive a location on the superimposed first ADSR envelope at which the operating event occurs. 6. The system of claim 5, wherein the processor is configured to determine a midpoint of a decay vector of the superimposed first ADSR envelope, wherein the location on the superimposed first ADSR envelope at which the operating event occurs is the midpoint. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the operating event comprises an opening of an intake valve of the combustion engine, a closing of the intake valve, an opening of an exhaust valve of the combustion engine, a closing of the exhaust valve, or a peak firing pressure. 8. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to: receive, from a knock sensor disposed in or about a cylinder of a combustion engine, noise data indicative of noise emitted by the combustion engine;receive, from a crankshaft sensor disposed in or about the cylinder of the combustion engine, crank angle data indicative of a crank angle of a crankshaft of the combustion engine;plot the noise data against the crank angle data;determine a portion of the noise data that corresponds to a fingerprint having a reference Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release (“ADSR”) envelope indicative of an operating event of the combustion engine;superimpose or plot the reference ADSR envelope over the noise data; anddetermine a location in the noise data at which the operating event occurred. 9. The non-transitory computer readable medium comprising executable instructions of claim 8 that, when executed, further cause the processor to: determine a midpoint on a decay vector of the reference ADSR envelope, wherein the midpoint on the decay vector of the reference ADSR envelope corresponds to the location at which the operating event occurs. 10. The non-transitory computer readable medium comprising executable instructions of claim 8 that, when executed, further cause the processor to precondition the noise data before plotting the noise data. 11. A method of monitoring an operating event of a combustion engine, comprising: receiving a noise signal sensed by a knock sensor disposed in or about a cylinder of the combustion engine;correlating the noise signal with a fingerprint having at least an Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release (“ADSR”) envelope indicative of the operating event of the combustion engine; anddetecting if the operating event has occurred based on the correlating of the noise signal with the fingerprint. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the operating event comprises an opening of an intake valve of the internal combustion engine, a closing of the intake valve, an opening of an exhaust valve of the internal combustion engine, a closing of the exhaust valve, or a peak firing pressure. 13. The method of claim 11, comprising baselining the combustion engine to derive the fingerprint having at least the ADSR envelope indicative of the operating event. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein baselining the combustion engine to derive the fingerprint having at least the ADSR envelope comprises: deriving the ADSR envelope from a baseline noise signal indicative of the operating event and plotting the ADSR envelope and operating event indicator data against time to derive a location of the ADSR envelope at which the operating event occurs. 15. The method of claim 14, comprising deriving the location of the ADSR envelope at which the operating event occurs by determining an intersecting point between the ADSR envelope and the operating event indicator data. 16. The method of claim 14, comprising receiving the operating event indicator data via a signal from a switch that monitors the operating event during the baselining of the combustion engine. 17. The method of claim 14, wherein the location of the ADSR envelope at which the operating event occurs is approximately a midpoint of a decay vector of the ADSR envelope. 18. The method of claim 14, wherein the location of the ADSR envelope at which the operating event occurs is within a mid-region of a decay vector of the ADSR envelope. 19. The method of claim 11, wherein correlating the noise signal with the fingerprint having at least the ADSR envelope indicative of the operating event comprises preconditioning the noise signal and superimposing the ADSR envelope onto at least a portion of a plot of the preconditioned noise signal. 20. The method of claim 11, wherein correlating the noise signal with the fingerprint having at least the ADSR envelope indicative of the operating event comprises plotting the noise signal, or a preconditioned version of the noise signal, against a crank angle signal of a crankshaft of the combustion engine received from a crankshaft sensor and superimposing the ADSR envelope of the fingerprint onto at least a portion of the plot.
