Abstract: An awning includes a base part, which can be attached to a building part, a fabric shaft, which can be rotatably driven thereon by means of a motor, an awning fabric, which can be retracted and extended and wound onto the fabric shaft and unwound therefrom, and a noise influencing system, which has a controller and at least one sound actuator activated thereby and coupled to an awning component, the at least one sound actuator producing a counter-sound pattern adapted to the sound pattern during the retraction and/or extension of the awning for influencing the noise, in particular noise and vibration damping.
