   active noise control (ANC) (also known as noise cancellation, active noise reduction (ANR) or antinoise) is a method for reducing unwanted sound.

   Extractions: Jump to: navigation search Active noise control (ANC) (also known as noise cancellation active noise reduction (ANR) or antinoise ) is a method for reducing unwanted sound Sound is a pressure wave , which consists of a compression phase and a rarefaction phase. A noise-cancellation speaker emits a sound wave with the same amplitude and the opposite polarity (in antiphase ) to the original sound. The waves combine to form a new wave, in a process called interference , and effectively cancel each other out - an effect which is called phase cancellation . Depending on the circumstances and the method used, the resulting soundwave may be so faint as to be inaudible to human ears. A noise-cancellation speaker may be co-located with the sound source to be attenuated. In this case it must have the same audio power level as the source of the unwanted sound. Alternatively, the transducer emitting the cancellation signal may be located at the location where sound attenuation is wanted (e.g. the user's ear). This requires a much lower power level for cancellation but is effective only for a single user. Noise cancellation at other locations is more difficult as the three dimensional wavefronts of the unwanted sound and the cancellation signal could match and create alternating zones of constructive and destructive interference. In small enclosed spaces (eg the passenger compartment of a car) such global cancellation can be achieved via multiple speakers and feedback microphones, and measurement of the modal responses of the enclosure.

   Extractions: Active noise control, and its cousin, active vibration control, attempt to cancel an unwanted ``noise'' acoustical wave by injecting an equal-but-opposite ``anti-noise''acoustical wave into the medium, thereby attenuating the wave via destructive interference. The origins of ANVC date back to at least 1936, when P. Leug patented the idea for sound control. It tooks nearly fifty years, however, to obtain what might be called successful ANVC, due to the level of electronic precision required to create an anti-noise signal with any great fidelity. Today, anti-noise headsets abound (I have a very cute set of Sony earbud-style `phones from Japan); these are mostly analog systems. Large-scale quieting requires the use of adaptive digital signal processing technology in all but the simplest acoustic environments. I began my study of ANVC as a summer hire at SRI International, Menlo Park, CA, in 1992. While working in the Acoustics and Radar Technology Laboratory, I helped develop the algorithms and guide software code developers to implement a simple one-input, one-output, one-error active noise control system that illustrated some of the advantages that simple adaptive processing has over more-costly off-line calibration methods. I also developed the multichannel extensions of the algorithms and wrote an internal SRI report that helped others to design a real-time multichannel active noise control system for reverberant room noise control. After joining the University of Utah, I remained as a consultant to SRI, developing normalized LMS algorithms for multichannel active noise control and studying simplified

Useful tools: Metric-English Conversion Scientific Calculator Although sound is a compression wave, each tone or frequency can be represented by a sine wave of a given wavelength. Simple sine wave for single sound frequency Suppose another pure sound of the same frequency was emitted, but just a fraction of a second later. That means it is slightly out of phase from the first sound or sine wave. The visual representation of the two waves would be as in the next illustration.

    Extractions: UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON FURTHER CONCEPTS Active Noise Control in a Room ACTIVE NOISE CONTROL The ISVR has been involved in active control research for many years. Early work was carried out on active headsets, and further studies were undertaken on the active control of enclosed soundfields. Why Active Noise Control ? There are several ways to reduce the noise levels emitted by a sound source in a room. One standard approach consists of passive noise absorption , i.e. covering the walls with absorbing materials like glassfibre coatings. These materials dissipate acoustic energy into heat and so contribute to the noise reduction, but they work best at high frequencies (e.g. above 500 Hz). Active Noise Control systems have been developed to overcome the limitations of passive strategies at low-frequencies (e.g. below 100 Hz). How does it work ?

    Extractions: With this shareware, you can test and experiment with a very simple active noise control system at home. The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate active noise control. The basic principle of active noise control is to cancel a sound wave (noise) by emitting a secondary opposite (out-of-phase) sound wave (control wave). The active noise control principle is illustrated in the figure below. In the real world, the implementation of active noise control is much more complex due to phase and spatial matching, efficient transducers, system identification, etc., as explained in the paper " Active Control of Sound and Vibration ," by C. R. Fuller and A. H. Flotow. The shareware that you can download, sends a single frequency wave (sine wave at 1000 Hz) to your right speaker. This sound wave represents the noise to be cancelled. By activating the control (pushing on the control button in the program), sound wave of equal amplitude and opposite phase is sent to the left speaker to cancel the noise. Note that for an effective demonstration, the two speakers should face each other and be close to one another (see picture above). If desired, the speakers can then be moved apart and the resulting effect on the sound cancellation observed. This share was tested using "Labtec LCS-800" speakers; the sound cancellation obtained was large and appreciable. Note that the control results depends highly on the quality of speakers used. Please make sure that the volume of each speaker is set to be identical. Also notice that this experiment is more impressive at medium-high volume (please be careful not to overdrive your speakers and ears!).

    Extractions: Show all Active Noise Control Products companies Active noise control products use electro-acoustical sound field modification or cancellation to attenuate or eliminate unwanted sound. By contrast, passive noise control products use materials to absorb sound. Active noise control products include controllers, sensors, actuators, and other electro-acoustical products for limiting or canceling noise or vibration. In a typical active noise control system, sensors are used to detect unwanted sound when it occurs. A controller and speaker are then used to create a sound field that is a twin of the unwanted sound, but inverted, so that it is a mirror image of the sound to be eliminated an anti-sound.

    Extractions: May 2004 Active noise control, the suppression of an undesired sound by the action of another sound, has had a long and not entirely painless development arc over the past 70 years. From its genesis in the 1930s, to the current state with consumer products on the market, the development of active noise control has closely paralleled and depended upon the advancement of low-cost electronics. The basic elements of an active noise control system include one or more microphones to sense the noise over some location of interest and a means to produce an appropriately tailored sound field that acts as a "control field." The control field is usually created through the action of a control system connected to loudspeakers. Applications of the concept have included control of noise produced by industrial fans, suppression of noise in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning ducts, reduction of vehicle exhaust sounds, creation of "quiet zones" within vehicle interiors, reduction of the noise levels inside aircraft and spacecraft launch fairings, and the now almost commonplace active noise control headsets in aviation and consumer use.
