Electronic device, method and computer program for active noise control inside a vehicle

A method for active noise control inside a vehicle, the method comprising:

• determining a noise wavefield within the vehicle based on noise signals captured by a microphone array;
• determining a position of ears of a passenger based on information obtained from a head tracking sensor;
• capturing a noise field inside the vehicle based on information obtained by the microphone array;
• obtaining a noise level at the ears of the passenger from the noise field;
• determining an anti-noise field based on the noise level at the position of the ears of the passenger;
• and
• determining the anti-noise field by determining a beam width and orientation adaptation.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions, which when executed by circuitry, cause the circuitry to perform a method for active noise control inside a vehicle, the method:

• determine a noise wavefield within the vehicle based on noise signals captured by a microphone array;
• determine a position of ears of a passenger based on information obtained from a head tracking sensor;
• capture a noise field inside the vehicle based on information obtained by the microphone array;
• obtain a noise level at the ears of the passenger from the noise field;
• determine an anti-noise field based on the noise level at the position of the ears of the passenger;
• and
• determine the anti-noise field by determining a beam width and orientation adaptation.
