Abstract

In this chapter, a new approach to active narrowband noise control is presented. Narrowband acoustic noise may be generated, among others, by rotating parts of electro-mechanical devices, such as motors, turbines, compressors, or fans. Active noise control involves the generation of “antinoise”, i.e., the generation of a sound that has the same amplitude, but the opposite phase, as the unwanted noise, which causes them to interfere destructively, rather than constructively. In the range of low frequencies (below 1 kHz), the active approach is more effective than passive methods that employ dampers, barriers, absorbers, and other forms of acoustic isolation.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Since in the case considered \(\omega (t)\) is a random variable (rather than an unknown deterministic constant) the classical Craméra-Rao bound does not apply.
