Active engine mounts significantly contribute to ensure the comfort in vehicles with emission-reducing engine technologies, e.g., cylinder-on-demand (COD), downsizing or turbochargers. To control active engine mounts, either adaptive or non-adaptive feedforward control is commonly employed. Since both approaches have previously been treated separately, this study proposes methods to connect the...

In hands-free scenarios the desired speech signal picked up by the microphone is corrupted by various disturbances such as additive noise, acoustic echoes, and room reverberation. Especially the cancelation of room reverberation still remains a challenging task. For time-variant acoustic environments adaptive filters with appropriate learning algorithms based on the well-known least-mean-square...

In Active noise control (ANC), the secondary path has usually a time varying behavior. For these cases, an online secondary path modeling method that uses a auxiliary noise as a training signal is required to ensure convergence of the system. The modeling accuracy and the convergence rate are increased when a auxiliary noise with a larger variance is used. A sudden change in the secondary path ...

In this paper, a load balanced implementation of a delayless FxLMS algorithm for the purpose of active noise cancellation is proposed. Frequency-domain adaption algorithms using FFT's are well-known for their efficiency. However, their block-based character will lead to a delay in the order of the used block length. A hybrid adaption approach is chosen in this study to combine the advantages of...

This paper presents the design and implementation of adaptive feedback active noise control system (ANC) for head phone applications. Active Noise Control is a technique of acoustic noise reduction using a secondary source of sound which produces ”antinoise” to cancel the primary noise. In this paper, narrow band single channel feedback ANC for headsets application is focused upon. The filter w...

In this paper, an adaptive feedback control algorithm for ANC (Active Noise Control) with leaky FeLMS (Filtered-error Least Mean Square) algorithm is proposed. A shaping function is used in the updating equation, which selects the frequency band of the noise attenuation for the ANC system. Compared with the adaptive feedback ANC structure based on traditional FxLMS (Filtered-x Least Mean Square...

This paper proposes a new method for online secondary path modeling in feedback active noise control (ANC) systems. In practical cases, the secondary path is usually time-varying. For these cases, online modeling of secondary path is required to ensure convergence of the system. In literature the secondary path estimation is usually performed offline, prior to online modeling, where in the prop...

Monotone noises at high decibels have been identified as a main cause of degradation in people’s mental health. This paper proposes directional monotone noise reduction method to suppress spatially localized single-frequency noises. The system is designed based on feedforward active control (ANC) structure by implementing filtered-x least mean square (FxLMS) algorithms. Compared with traditiona...
