摘要:
Method and system for active reduction of a predefined audio acoustic signal (AAAS), also referred to as “noise”, in a quiet zone, without interfering undefined acoustic noise signals within as well as outside the quiet zone, by generating accurate antiphase AAAS signal. The accuracy of the generated antiphase AAAS is obtained by employing a unique synchronization signal(s) (SYNC) which is generated and combined with the predefined AAAS. The combined signal is electrically transmitted (referred to as the “electric channel”) to a processing “quieting component”. Simultaneously, the generated SYNC signal is acoustically broadcasted near the predefined AAAS and merges with it. A microphone in the quiet zone receives the merged acoustic signals that arrive via the air (referred to as the “acoustical channel”) to the quiet zone and a receiver in the quieting component receives the combined electrical AAAS and SYNC signal that arrive wire or wireless to the quiet zone. In the quiet component the SYNC is detected from both electrical and acoustical channels, the detected SYNC signals with the electrically received AAAS signal are used to calculate the timing and momentary amplitude for generating an accurate acoustic antiphase AAAS signal to cancel the acoustic predefined AAAS. By continuously and periodically updating the SYNC signal enables to dynamically evaluate acoustical environmental distortions that might appear due to echo, reverberations, frequency non-linear response, or due to other distortions mechanisms.

A loudspeaker arrangement comprises a first loudspeaker configured to radiate an acoustical signal, and a first microphone that is acoustically coupled to the first loudspeaker via a secondary path and that is electrically coupled to the first loudspeaker via an active noise control processing unit. During the use of the loudspeaker arrangement, the first loudspeaker is arranged at a first distance from a first active noise control target position, wherein the first active noise control target position is a position at which noise is to be suppressed, and wherein the first distance is a length of the shortest path between the first loudspeaker and the first active noise control target position through free air. The first microphone is arranged at a second distance from the first loudspeaker, wherein the second distance is a length of the shortest path between the first loudspeaker and the first microphone through free air. The first distance equals the second distance, and the position of the first microphone differs from the first active noise target position.

A technique for reducing noise in a listening environment. The technique includes dividing the listening environment into a plurality of zones, where each zone is associated with a different active noise cancellation (ANC) system. A boundary between a first zone included in the plurality of zones and a second zone included in the plurality of zones comprises open space. The technique further includes assigning a plurality of acoustic sensors and a plurality of speakers to the ANC system associated with each zone included in the plurality of zones. The technique further includes, for each zone included in the plurality of zones, acquiring acoustic data via the plurality of acoustic sensors, processing the acoustic data, via a processor, to generate noise cancellation signals, and outputting the noise cancellation signals via the plurality of speakers.

摘要:
A vibration/noise control system controls vibrations and noises generated with a periodicity or a quasi-periodicity from a vibration/noise source having at least a rotating member. A self-expanding engine mount (2) is arranged in at least one of vibration/noise transmission paths (15) and is driven by a driving signal generated by the system. A vibration error sensor (G) detects an error signal (E) exhibiting a difference between the driving signal (Z) and the vibrations and noises. A reference sine wave is generated, which is superposed on a control signal for controlling the vibration/noise source, to thereby drive the self-expanding engine mount (2). A transfer characteristic of a portion of at least one of the vibration/noise transmission paths (15) is identified based on the reference sine wave, a delayed sine wave delayed by a predetermined delay period M relative to the reference sine wave, and the error signal (E). The transfer characteristic stored is updated based on an identification signal output from an identifying filter formed by an adaptive digital filter having two taps. The predetermined delay period M is set relative to the repetition period of the reference sine wave in a range of 1/3 ≧ M ≧ 1/7, wherein M is a real number.
