Abstract: A system according to the principles of the present disclosure includes a vibration prediction module and a firing sequence module. The vibration prediction module predicts a vibration response of a vehicle based on a firing sequence of an engine when a cylinder of the engine is deactivated. The firing sequence module adjusts the firing sequence of the engine based on the predicted vibration response of the vehicle.

Abstract: An engine sound enhancement system includes a conduit in communication with at least one of an intake manifold and an exhaust manifold of an engine. An interface is arranged at least one of within the conduit and between an inlet of the conduit and the at least one of the intake manifold and the exhaust manifold. The interface is responsive to pulses within the at least one of the intake manifold and the exhaust manifold, wherein the interface is configured to transfer the pulses into the conduit.

Abstract: A firing module determines a target number of activated cylinders of an engine based on a torque request and a present gear ratio of a transmission. A combination identification module, based on the torque request, identifies a combination including a possible number of activated cylinders and a possible transmission gear ratio, wherein at least one of: the possible number of activated cylinders is different than the target number of activated cylinders; and the possible transmission gear ratio is different than the present gear ratio of the transmission. A transitioning module, when a second fuel consumption for the possible number of activated cylinders and the possible transmission gear ratio is less than a first fuel consumption for the target number of activated cylinders and the present gear ratio, selectively: transitions the target number of activated cylinders to the possible number of activated cylinders; and transitions a target gear ratio of the transmission to the possible transmission gear ratio. An activation/deactivation module controls cylinder activation and deactivation based on the target number of activated cylinders.

Abstract: Based on a desired average number of activated cylinders per sub-period of a predetermined period including P sub-periods, a cylinder control module selects one of N predetermined cylinder activation/deactivation patterns. The selected cylinder activation/deactivation pattern corresponds to Q activated cylinders per sub-period, Q is an integer between zero and a total number of cylinders of an engine, inclusive, P is an integer greater than one, and the desired average number of active cylinders is a number between zero and the total number of cylinders of the engine. The cylinder control module also determines an adjusted cylinder activation/deactivation pattern based on the selected predetermined cylinder activation/deactivation pattern, generates a desired cylinder activation/deactivation pattern for the predetermined period using the selected predetermined cylinder activation/deactivation pattern during a first number of the P sub-periods and using the adjusted cylinder activation/deactivation pattern during a second number of the P sub-periods.

Abstract: A ranking module determines N ranking values for N predetermined cylinder activation/deactivation sequences of an engine, respectively. N is an integer greater than or equal to two. A cylinder control module, based on the N ranking values, selects one of the N predetermined cylinder activation/deactivation sequences as a desired cylinder activation/deactivation sequence for cylinders of the engine. The cylinder control module also: activates opening of intake and exhaust valves of first ones of the cylinders that are to be activated based on the desired cylinder activation/deactivation sequence; and deactivates opening of intake and exhaust valves of second ones of the cylinders that are to be deactivated based on the desired cylinder activation/deactivation sequence. A fuel control module provides fuel to the first ones of the cylinders and disables fueling to the second ones of the cylinders.
