Abstract: An active noise reduction device includes a first adaptive filter, a first filter coefficient updater, and a controller that determines, based on a first parameter of the first adaptive filter, whether first noise control based on a first cancelling sound is in a stable state or an unstable state. The controller transitions the first filter coefficient updater to a restriction state in which an effect of reducing first noise is smaller than in a normal state when it is determined that the first noise control is in the unstable state while the first filter coefficient updater is updating a coefficient of the first adaptive filter in the normal state, and transitions the first filter coefficient updater back to the normal state when it is determined that the first noise control is in the stable state while the first filter coefficient updater is in the restriction state.

Abstract: An active noise reduction device includes: an adaptive filter that generates a cancelling signal by applying an adaptive filter to a reference signal that has a correlation with noise in a space in an automobile, the cancelling signal being used to output a cancelling sound for reducing the noise; and a filter coefficient updater that calculates a coefficient of the adaptive filter based on a predetermined update equation. At a first timing at which the output of the cancelling sound is started, the filter coefficient updater uses a first coefficient as an initial value of the update equation, the first coefficient being the coefficient of the adaptive filter calculated by the filter coefficient updater at a second timing that is prior to the first timing.
