Noise reduction through active noise control using stereophonic sound for increasing quite zone

초록

The low frequency impact noise generated during machine operation is difficult to control by conventional active noise control. The Active Noise Control (ANC) is a destructive interference technic of noise source and control sound by generating anti-phase control sound. Its efficiency is limited to small space near the error microphones. At different locations, the noise level may increase due to control sounds. In this study, the ANC method using stereophonic sound was investigated to reduce interior low frequency noise and increase the quite zone. The Distance Based Amplitude Panning (DBAP) algorithm based on the distance between the virtual sound source and the speaker was used to create a virtual sound source by adjusting the volume proportions of multi speakers spectively. The 3-Dimensional sound ANC system was able to change the position of virtual control source using DBAP algorithm. The quiet zone was formed using fixed multi speaker system for various locations of noise sources.
