Abstract

This paper discusses the design methodology for the active noise control of sound disturbances in a forced-air cooling system. The active sound cancellation algorithm uses the framework of output-error based optimization of a linearly parametrized filter for feedforward sound compensation to select microphone location and demonstrate the effectiveness of active noise cancellation in a small portable data projector. Successful implementation of the feedforward based active noise controller on a NEC LT170 data projector shows a 20–40 dB reduction per frequency point in the spectrum of external noise of the forced-air cooling system can be obtained over a broad frequency range from 1 to 5 kHz. A total noise reduction (unweighted) of 9.3 dB is achieved.
