    Abstract: From at least a first microphone, first microphone signals are received that represent first sound waves. From at least a second microphone, second microphone signals are received that represent second sound waves. In response to the first microphone signals, first noise in the first sound waves is estimated, and first cancellation signals are output for causing a speaker array to generate first additional sound waves via at least a first acoustic beam for cancelling at least some of the first noise. In response to the second microphone signals, second noise in the second sound waves is estimated, and second cancellation signals are output for causing the speaker array to generate second additional sound waves via at least a second acoustic beam for cancelling at least some of the second noise.

    Abstract: Robust feedforward active noise cancellation is provided which can overcome or substantially alleviate problems associated with the diverse and dynamic nature of the surrounding acoustic environment. A multi-faceted analysis is performed to determine the direction (or directions) of propagation of noise in the surrounding acoustic environment. The direction of propagation is then utilized to determine direction-dependent characteristics of the acoustic path between a reference position where the noise is captured and a desired position where the noise is to be cancelled. These characteristics are used to form a feedforward signal adapted to cancel the noise at the desired position. By forming the feedforward signal based on direction-dependent characteristics of the acoustic path, the techniques described herein can achieve optimal noise cancellation at the desired location, regardless of the direction of propagation of the noise.

    Abstract: An active noise cancellation device and method for reducing fan blade noise over a broad spatial area. The device comprises a microphone, a band pass filter, and audio amplifier, and a speaker array. The microphone captures the sound produced by the fan and converts it into an electrical signal. This electrical signal is input to the band pass filter which has a center frequency equal to product of fan speed and the number of fan blades which comprise the fan. The band pass filter attenuates any signals other than the primary harmonic sound produced by the rotating fan blades. The filtered signal from the band pass filter is input to the audio amplifier. The audio amplifier conditions the signal for input to the speaker array. Accordingly, each speaker in the array receives and outputs an audio signal of equal amplitude and phase as that produced by the rotating fan blades. The speaker array is mounted on or close to the fan hub in a symmetric pattern commensurate with the fan blade geometry. In general, the number of speakers which comprise the array corresponds to the number of fan blades. The position of the speaker array is adjusted until a maximum destructive interference occurs between the sound produced by the rotating fan blades and the speaker array. With the addition of a phase shifter, the active noise cancellation device can be utilized to provide noise cancellation for variable speed fans.

    Abstract: From inputs received at one or more processors, a background audio signal representing background sound is separated from a primary audio signal. The primary audio signal is output with the background audio signal or an altered version thereof according to a user selection between noise cancellation and ambient sound reproduction. More specifically, when the user selection is for noise cancelation, the primary and background audio signals are output with a first altered version of the background audio signal (for example, having inverted phase so as to destructively interfere with the background audio signal); and when the user selection is for ambient sound reproduction, the primary audio signal is output with the background audio signal or a second altered version of the background audio signal (such as a pseudo-acoustic representation of the background sound). One example embodiment is a headset with microphones and speakers for the respective inputs and outputs.
