  • Patent number: 11330369
    Abstract: A noise cancelling soundbar that may be integrated into a piece of furniture, such as a bed, comprising one or more loudspeakers, an integrated power amplifier, one or more microphones, an audio input communication module, and an active noise cancellation module. After receiving an audio input signal from a media source, such as a TV or smartphone, the noise cancelling soundbar may produce an amplified output signal. By using its microphones and active noise cancellation technology, the noise cancelling soundbar may, in addition to reproducing input audio via its loudspeakers, generate negative sound waves which destructively interfere with ambient noise to allow users to listen to audiovisual media without disturbing non-listeners in the area, and without using headphones.
