Abstract

Most active noise control (ANC) headphones operate with a fixed-filter method. When the directions or spectral characteristics of the primary noise fluctuate significantly, the fixed filter exhibits an unsatisfactory noise reduction performance. To address this problem, this study proposes a selective fixed-filter ANC algorithm based on frequency response matching (FRM-SFANC), which chooses a pre-training filter to attenuate variable primary noise. An online modelling approach is adopted to achieve the FRM mechanism. Compared to the conventional fixed-filter method, FRM-SFANC provides superior and robust noise reduction performance.
