Active noise control -- the reduction of noise by generating an acoustic signal that actively interferes with the noise -- has become an important area of basic research and engineering applications. This book presents the basic knowledge required for assessing how useful active noise control will be for a given problem and then provides guidance for designing, setting up, and tuning anactive noise-control system. It covers the fundamental concepts and applications, including basic acoustics, perception and sound, passive noise control, digital systems, adaptive controllers, and active noise control systems.Presents the basic knowledge needed to assess how useful active noise control will be for a given problem. This text assists in the designing, setting up and tuning of an active noise-control system. The topics covered include: human perception and sound; sound intensity and related concepts; fundamentals of passive noise-control strategies; and basics of digital systems and adaptive controllers.
