Urban noise pollution is an omnipresent but often neglected threat to public health that must
be addressed urgently. Passive noise control measures, which are less effective at reducing …

Shutting the window is usually the last resort in mitigating environmental noise, at the
expense of natural ventilation. We describe an active sound control system fitted onto the …

Due to their computational efficiency, least mean square (LMS)–based algorithms are still
widely utilized to achieve optimal control in active noise control (ANC) applications. Real …

There is a pressing need to address urban sustainability challenges of increasing ambient
temperatures and noise levels in densely-populated, high-rise cities. Solutions that utilise …

A virtual sound barrier is an active noise control system that uses arrays of loudspeakers
and microphones to create a useful size of quiet zone and can be used to reduce sound …

In this study, refracto-vibrometry is proposed for active control of sound radiation through an
opening. First, refracto-vibrometry is used to reconstruct sound field in an opening, and a …

The multichannel active noise control (MCANC) approach is widely regarded as an effective
solution to achieve a large noise cancellation zone in a complicated acoustic environment …

Active noise control (ANC) is a re-emerging technique to mitigate noise pollution. To reduce
the noise power in large spaces, multiple channels are usually required, which complicates …

This paper proposes a hybrid analog-digital architecture, aimed at reducing hardware
resource consumption and improving the scalability of a multi-channel feedforward active …

Active noise control (ANC) systems are commonly designed to achieve maximal sound
reduction regardless of the incident direction of the sound. When desired sound is present …
