Patent number: 10891934Abstract: Described are methods and systems for broad-band active reduction of noise in target spaces, such as spaces around headrests in aircraft cabins. Systems describe herein are effective over wide frequency ranges without causing undesirable amplification at any subrange ranges. Specifically, a system comprises a speaker and a resonator, both coupled to an enclosure. The interior space of the resonator is in fluid communication with the enclosed space of the enclosure, allowing the resonator to reduce the amplitude of unwanted amplification by the audio reducing sound generated by the speaker. The amplitude is reduced in a selected frequency range, which may correspond to an expected amplification for this particular system. The resonator may partially extend into the enclosure or may be completely incorporated into the enclosure. Some examples of the resonator include a Helmholtz resonator, a passive radiator, a quarter wave resonator, a pipe resonator, and an acoustic metamaterial.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2019Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Steven F.
