Method for suppressing acoustic interfering signals, introduced into a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle, including: detecting a physical size in the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle, generating a detection information describing the detected physical size in the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle, selection of a counter-signal parameter influencing the acoustic counter-signal, depending upon the physical size described through the detection information, and/or adaptation of a counter-signal parameter influencing the acoustic counter-signal, depending upon the physical size described through the detection information, generating an acoustic counter-signal on the basis of the selected counter-signal parameter and/or on the basis of the adapted counter-signal parameter, and outputting the generated acoustic counter-signal into the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle to suppress acoustic interfering signals, introduced into the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle, resulting from the operation of the on-board drive unit.
