  • Active noise control apparatus, active noise control method and program
    Patent number: 10706833
    Abstract: The active noise control device detects noise, and delays a phase of a detected noise signal in a low frequency band. In a non-closed-type noise control device, since there occurs such a phenomenon that the phase of the noise signal advances in the low frequency band, the correction unit performs a correction to cancel the phase advance by delaying the phase. By outputting the noise reduction sound based on the phase-corrected noise signal, the noise is reduced.
