Abstract
A noise controller includes circuitry to predict noise caused by an image forming apparatus in operation based on an operation condition of the image forming apparatus, using a noise prediction program generated by machine learning with multiple pieces of learning data, and generate an antiphase waveform that is reverse in phase to the predicted noise; and a speaker to output a sound wave having the antiphase waveform.
Claims7
A noise controller comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- predict noise caused by an image forming apparatus in operation based on an operation condition of the image forming apparatus, using a noise prediction program generated by machine learning with multiple pieces of learning data;
- and
- generate an antiphase waveform that is reverse in phase to the predicted noise;
