    Abstract: Audio pickup systems and methods are provided to enhance an audio signal by removing noise components related to an acoustic environment. The systems and methods receive a primary signal and one or more reference signals from various microphones. Adaptive filtering and combining minimizes an energy content of a resulting output signal, e.g., to form a substantially null output when the system is in a static acoustic environment. When the system is a playback sound source, one or more echo cancellers may contribute to removing content from the output signal. A change in the acoustic environment, such as a new sound source, causes content in the output signal until the adaptive filtering adapts to the new environment. In some examples, a desired content such as a wake-up word is detected and adaptation is stopped.

    Abstract: Various implementations include systems for processing inner microphone audio signals. In particular implementations, a system includes an external microphone configured to be acoustically coupled to an environment outside an car canal of a user; an inner microphone configured to be acoustically coupled to an environment inside the ear canal of the user; and an adaptive noise cancelation system configured to process an internal signal captured by the inner microphone and generate a noise reduced internal signal, wherein the noise reduced internal signal is adaptively generated in response to an external signal captured by the external microphone.

    Abstract: Audio device systems and methods are provided to enhance speech pick-up from a user. The systems and methods include a plurality of left signals and right signals from microphones coupled to left and right earpieces. Various of the signals are combined to provide a primary signal having enhanced acoustic response in the direction of a selected location, such as the user's mouth. Additionally, the left signals are combined to provide a left reference signal having reduced acoustic response from the selected location, and the right signals are combined to provide a right reference signal also having reduced acoustic response from the selected location. Each of the left and right reference signals are filtered to provide left and right noise estimates, respectively, and the left and right noise estimates are subtracted from the primary signal.

    Abstract: A system and method for reducing noise caused by two or more rotating devices by taking in input signals with frequencies that are related to the rotation rates of the rotating devices, and causing one or more loudspeakers to produce sounds that are at about the same frequencies as the noise and of substantially opposite phase. There is a noise canceller associated with each rotating device. Each noise canceller includes a harmonic frequency computer that computes a harmonic frequency and provides the harmonic frequency to a harmonic sine wave generator that generates an output sine wave. Each nose canceller also has an adaptive filter that uses a sine wave to create a noise reduction signal that is used to drive one or more transducers with their outputs directed to reduce noise caused by the rotating devices. There is an overlap detector that compares the harmonic frequencies and, based on their proximity, alters the operation of one or more adaptive filters.
