Abstract: A work machine includes a housing. The housing at least partly houses a machine. The housing has an opening. The work machine includes a path leading into the housing from the opening. The work machine includes a controller and a speaker. The controller is configured to cause a speaker to output a control sound for reducing operating noise. The operating noise is generated in the housing by motion of the machine and propagates in the path from a source of the operating noise to the opening. The speaker is arranged so that the control sound propagates in the path with its wavefront parallel to a wavefront of the operating noise that propagates in the path.
