Abstract
Multichannel active noise control (ANC) systems have been investigated to reduce outdoor low-frequency noise, such as power transformer noise and traffic noise. However, in outdoor environments, wind noise is inevitable and significantly degrades the noise reduction performance of active control systems. Despite broad adoption in windy environments, porous microphone windscreens cannot eliminate low-frequency wind noise in microphones, especially when the wind speed is high. Assuming wind noise is additive and uncorrelated with the primary noise to be controlled, this paper analyses how the wind noise detected by the reference microphone impacts the control filters and the residual noise of a multichannel ANC system based on the multichannel filtered-reference least mean squares algorithm (MFxLMS). By extending our recent research on wind noise suppression in single-channel active noise control systems [Y. Chu, et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 152(6), 3340–3345 (2022)], a modified MFxLMS algorithm based on a new cost function is proposed. Simulations with real-recorded wind noise are performed to verify the theoretical analysis.
