Active noise cancelling based on leakage profile

Abstract

Active noise cancellation systems and methods include a feedforward path configured to receive a reference signal comprising ambient noise and adaptively generate an anti-noise signal to cancel the ambient noise and comprising an adaptive gain component configured to adaptively adjust a gain of the anti-noise signal, and a logic device configured to determine a leakage profile based on the adaptive gain component. The feedforward path includes a feedforward adaptive filter tuned to generate the anti-noise signal corresponding to the reference signal in accordance with the determined leakage profile. The leakage profile is selected from a plurality of stored leakage profiles that are tuned for a corresponding gain, and which corresponds to an ear coupling condition associated with a fit between the active noise cancellation system and a user. An adaptive transparency filter receives the reference signal and generates an ambient inclusion signal for output to a user.
