AES 5th International Conference on Automotive Audio

Active noise control has been successfully applied in headphones; however, many challenges emerge when it is applied in automotive cabins. Active control of tonal engine noise in automotive cabins was the focus in the past few decades, now more and more efforts are being made to reduce broadband road/tire noise. In this talk, I will give an overview on recent progress in active noise control in automotive cabins, explore the upper limit frequencies of effective control for both global and local control, and discuss the challenges, physical limitations, and future research directions.
