摘要:
A digital circuit arrangement for an ambient noise-reduction system affording a higher degree of noise reduction than has hitherto been possible. The arrangement converts the analog signals into N-bit digital signals at sample rate f0, and then subjects the converted signals to digital filtering. The value of N in some embodiments is 1 but, in any event, is no greater than 8, and f0 may be 64 times the Nyquist sampling rate but, in any event, is substantially greater than the Nyquist sampling rate. This permits digital processing to be used without incurring group delay problems that rule out the use of conventional digital processing in this context. Furthermore, adjustment of the group delay can readily be achieved, in units of a fraction of a micro-second, providing the ability to fine tune the group delay for feed forward applications.

The invention provides a digital circuit arrangement for an ambient noise-reduction system affording a higher degree of noise reduction than has hitherto been possible, through the use of a low latency signal processing chain consisting of analogue-to-digital conversion, digital processing and digital-to-analogue conversion. The arrangement converts the analogue signals into N-bit digital signals at sample rate f0, and then subjects the converted signals to digital filtering. The value of N in some embodiments is 1 but, in any event, is no greater than 8, and f0 may be 64 times the Nyquist sampling rate but, in any event, is substantially greater than the Nyquist sampling rate. This permits digital processing to be used without incurring group delay problems that rule out the use of conventional digital processing in this context. Furthermore, adjustment of the group delay can readily be achieved, in units of a fraction of a micro-second, providing the ability to fine tune the group delay for feed-forward applications.

An apparatus and method of reducing noise in a portable audio reproducing apparatus using earphones. The apparatus includes an earphone unit having a speaker unit and a microphone to output an audio signal and to generate anti-noise with respect to external noise, and a circuit unit to compensate a frequency characteristic of the anti-noise generated by the microphone of the earphone unit, to add the anti-noise to an input audio signal, and to remove background noise using the anti-noise by outputting the audio signal having the anti-noise to the speaker unit.

An active noise attenuation system (10) comprises a speaker (26) in communication with a flow body (78). The speaker (26) emits an output for attenuating noise from the flow body (78). A control unit (31) communicates with the speaker (26) and controls the output. A housing (14) has one volume (18) acting as a liquid storage chamber and another volume (22) acting as a speaker chamber.

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for sound processing, where sound is attenuated by measuring it and by producing with an actuator a sound field of opposite sign in view of the original sound field. A desired value signal (I) is supplied to the actuator which reproduces the signal. To the actuator is attached a sensor, measuring sound pressure, and the difference of the sensor signal (B) and the desired value signal (I) is applied as high gain feedback to the actuator. As a consequence, sound not pertaining to the desired value signal (I) can be attenuated in a simple manner, and sound in accordance with the desired value signal (I) can be produced simultaneously with the same apparatus.

In a method for reproducing sound signals by means of headphones provided with microphones, unwanted sound signals from at least one external sound source are compensated by sound signals, simulating in anti-phase the sound signals from said at least one external sound source. The anti-phase sound signals being generated in the headphones in response to signals derived from audio input signals of the at least one external sound source in a first filter device which is controlled by the resulting microphone signals. Further, wanted sound signals are generated in the headphones in response to signals derived from further audio input signals in a second filter device with transfer functions substantially equal to the corresponding transfer functions of the first filter device.

A reactive sound attenuator which includes a sensor for detecting a sound parameter in a space, e.g. a duct, consists of a signal amplifier that is used to amplify a detected signal, an electroacoustic transducer and a cavity with at least one membrane. The membrane, which is capable of moving in a vibratory manner, is part of a wall of a space, e.g. a duct wall. A sensor, which is disposed in the immediate vicinity of, in or on the membrane, detects the vibrations of the membrane. The sensor's signal, which is amplified and inverted by the amplifier, controls the membrane vibration via the electroacoustic transducer.

A noise control device disposed at the outlet of a tail pipe which emits exhaust noise of an automobile to silence noise from the tail pipe comprises a speaker which is arranged near the tail pipe and of which the open surface has a constant angle with respect to a vertical plane, an enclosure which closes the rear portion of the speaker, and a silencing sound guide portion which guides silencing sounds emitted from the front surface of the speaker to the outlet of the tail pipe. A closed space into which a bumper for absorbing impact in case of collision is made, is used as a resonant-cavity of said speaker. Based on the amount of silencing noise which becomes greater as a plurality of microphones are arranged to be closer to the speaker, the outputs of the plurality of microphones apart a constant distance from said speaker are synthesized.
