To provide a noise control system capable of generating a noise cancellation field where noise is reduced at a desired position in a space. An error scanning filter generates a noise cancellation signal using an adaptive control algorithm based on error scanning, the signal having a phase opposite to that of an acoustic signal component detected by a reference sensor. A control speaker radiates the noise cancellation signal to create a noise cancellation field near the head of a person receiving sound.

An active noise control (ANC) system may be implemented to both sides of a fan, such that both directions of the noise emitting are treated to reduce the overall noise. The impact on airflow is minimal, and the technique is very effective in a broad range of low frequencies. Passive sound-absorbing materials may be included for attenuation of high frequencies. The resulting quiet fan produces a low level of noise compared to any other device based on fan, which produces the same capacity of airflow. The quiet fan may be incorporated in any mechanical system which requires airflow induction such as: computers, air conditioners, machines, and more.

Some embodiments of the present invention provide a system that attenuates noise from a fan exhaust of a computer system. During operation, the system monitors the noise from the fan exhaust and calculates a frequency spectrum of the noise from the monitored noise. Next, the system generates an antiphase spectrum from the frequency spectrum and generates a flow of air which exhibits a property of the antiphase spectrum. Finally, the system directs the flow of air into the fan exhaust so that the noise is attenuated by a reduction of turbulence in the fan exhaust by the flow of air.

摘要:
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.
