Abstract
We consider the dynamics of identical self-sustained oscillators coupled via a common linear system (beam), which is perturbed by noise. We demonstrate that increasing the noise intensity induces complete synchronization between the oscillators and, surprisingly, their in-phase synchronization with the beam. This new phenomenon of in-phase synchronization of both the oscillators and the oscillating beam arises when the noise intensity exceeds a threshold value, and can not appear in the deterministic case where the beam stably oscillates in anti-phase with the synchronized oscillators (as it is in the case of the Huygens clocks synchronization). Similar behavior persists for slightly non-identical oscillators.
