Abstract

In this paper, authors made an attempt to implement the active noise control technique (ANC) to decrease the amplitude of noise communicating through the environment using an electro-acoustic (EA) system with the help of measurement sensors such as microphones and output actuators such as loudspeakers. In general, the noise signal is generated from ambient; therefore, it is easy to detect the noise in the vicinity of its source. The main objective of developing the ANC system is to generate an “anti-noise" that reduce the unwanted noise in a desired quiet region using an appropriate adaptive filter. The simulations were performed in the MATLAB 2015 environment and satisfactory results were obtained using the proposed technique. The problem under study is different from traditional adaptive noise cancellation techniques in two ways. Firstly, it is not possible to measure the desired response of a signal directly measured; only the signal with reduced magnitude is present. Secondly, the ANC system is required to take into consideration the secondary loudspeaker-to-microphone error (LME) path in its adaptation.
