A sound separating apparatus includes a converting unit that respectively converts signals of two channels into frequency domains by a time unit, the signals representing sounds from sound sources. The apparatus also includes a localization-information calculating unit that calculates localization information regarding the frequency domains and a cluster analyzing unit that classifies the localization information into clusters and respectively calculates central values of the clusters. Finally, the apparatus further includes a separating unit that inversely converts, into a time domain, a value that is based on the central value and the localization information, and separates a sound from a given sound source included in the sound sources.

An active vibration noise control device obtains error signals corresponding to a cancellation error between vibration noise and control sounds generated by multiple speakers, from microphone(s), and actively controls the vibration noise. A basic signal generating unit generates a basic signal based on a vibration noise frequency. An adaptive notch filter unit generates control signals provided to each of the multiple speakers by applying a filter coefficient to the basic signal. A reference signal generating unit generates a reference signal from the basic signal based on multiple transfer characteristics from the multiple speakers to the one or more microphones. A filter coefficient updating unit updates the filter coefficient used by the adaptive notch filter unit so as to minimize the error signals. A controlling unit changes amplitude of the control signals of the speakers based on a similarity between the transfer characteristics and characteristics of the vibration noise.

The sound reproduction device is applied to an acoustic space such as a passenger compartment, and controls the levels of the reproduced sounds at two evaluation points set at the seats in the passenger compartment, for example. Specifically, the sound reproduction device controls the phase of the one channel sound signal inputted from external and supplies it to the pair of speakers. The phase control is performed such that the sum of reproduced sound levels at the two evaluation points becomes larger than the sum of the reproduced sound levels at the two evaluation points in a case where the sound signal is reproduced by only one of the pair of speakers, in an entire audible band.

In correcting the sound field, the loudspeakers 6FL to 6WF are sounded by the noise. The attenuation factors of the inter-band attenuators ATF11 to ATFki for adjusting gains of the band-pass filters BPF11 to BPFki to the frequency in respective channels are corrected based on detection results of the reproduced sounds of the loudspeakers 6FL to 6WF. Then, the attenuation factors of the channel-to-channel attenuators ATG1 to ATG5 are corrected based on the detection results of the reproduced sounds of the loudspeakers 6FL to 6WF. Then, the delay times of the delay circuits DLY1 to DLY5 are corrected based on the detection results of the reproduced sounds of the loudspeakers 6FL to 6WF. Then, the attenuation factor of the channel-to-channel attenuator ATGk is corrected based on the detection result of the reproduced sound of the loudspeaker 6WF as the subwoofer, whereby the levels of the reproduced sounds reproduced by the loudspeakers 6FL to 6WF are adjusted to be made flat over the audio frequency band.
摘要:
Reverberation characteristics of an original sound field and a reproduction sound field are measured and a difference between the reverberation characteristics is obtained. A reflected sound pattern added to reproduction sound is calculated so that the reverberation characteristics of the reproduction sound field approximate to the reverberation characteristics of the original sound field from the difference between the reverberation characteristics and is added and reproduced in the reproduction sound field. A frequency is divided into predetermined bands and a reflected sound pattern to be added is obtained similarly in the respective bands and is added to the corresponding frequency band of the reproduction sound and reproduced. Measurement of the reverberation characteristics is obtained by inputting an impulse signal to a speaker and collecting a generated sound wave by a microphone provided in a position corresponding to the head of a listener and analyzing the sound wave by an analyzer.

A rear speaker and a front speaker are provided in a room. A microphone is disposed at a listening position between the front and rear speakers for picking up a first sound from the front speakers and a second sound from the rear speaker. Time lags of the first sound and the second sound is obtained from the outputs of the microphone, and the time difference between the time lags is obtained. An antiphase audio signal opposite to a reflected composite signal included in the first sound picked up by the microphone is provided by the sound field correcting circuit. The antiphase audio signal with the same amplitude is delayed based on the time difference and emitted from the rear speaker so as to cancel the reflected composite signal.
摘要:
An active vibration noise control device is preferably used for canceling a vibration noise by making a speaker generate a control sound. Concretely, the active vibration noise control device includes an attenuating unit which attenuates a control signal generated by an adaptive notch filter, and provides the attenuated control signal to the speaker, when amplitude of a filter coefficient is larger than a threshold. Therefore, it is possible to suppress continuous ups and downs of the filter coefficient during an occurrence of an abnormality. Hence, it becomes possible to appropriately suppress an occurrence of a cyclic abnormal sound and an increase in the vibration noise during the occurrence of the abnormality.
