Abstract
An active noise control device includes a first adaptive filter configured to generate a control signal by performing a filtering process on a reference signal corresponding to noise, and a first filter coefficient updating unit configured to update a filter coefficient of the first adaptive filter based on based on the reference signal and an added error signal acquired by adding a first error signal acquired by detecting residual noise by a first microphone and a second error signal acquired by detecting residual noise by a second microphone.
Claims5
An active noise control device that causes an actuator to output a canceling sound based on a control signal in order to reduce noise in a vehicle compartment of a vehicle, the active noise control device comprising one or more processors that execute computer-executable instructions stored in a memory, wherein the one or more processors execute the computer-executable instructions to cause the active noise control device to:
- generate the control signal by performing a filtering process on a reference signal corresponding to the noise, by a first adaptive filter;
- and
- update a filter coefficient of the first adaptive filter, based on the reference signal and an added error signal that is acquired by adding a first error signal acquired by detecting residual noise due to interference between the noise and the canceling sound by a first microphone disposed on one side in the vehicle compartment with respect to a center line of the vehicle in a front-rear direction of the vehicle, and a second error signal acquired by detecting the residual noise by a second microphone disposed on another side in the vehicle compartment with respect to the center line of the vehicle;
- the active noise control device further comprises a first acoustic characteristic filter configured to correct the reference signal by performing a filtering process on the reference signal according to an acoustic characteristic from the actuator to the first microphone and an acoustic characteristic from the actuator to the second microphone,
- wherein the one or more processors further cause the active noise control device to:
- update the filter coefficient of the first adaptive filter, based on the added error signal and the reference signal corrected by the first acoustic characteristic filter,
- determine whether an abnormality has occurred in either of the first error signal or the second error signal;
- and
- update the filter coefficient of the first adaptive filter, when it is determined that the abnormality has occurred in one of the first error signal or the second error signal, the filter coefficient of the first adaptive filter being updated based on the reference signal corrected by the first acoustic characteristic filter and another of the first error signal or the second error signal.
