- Hi. I know this is possible because I've heard the military does it for
- helicopter headsets; and I heard that the car companies will be doing it
- too. Does someone know of how the basics work behind active noise can-
- cellation?
-
- What I'm interested in is a system where you have a speaker or two
- somehow produce a signal that is directly out of phase with the ambient
- noise. This seems impossible, since a speaker radiates in all directions,
- thereby having a different phase at different points in the room. Is
- there some way of getting an average phase or something, in order to
- decrease the noise in the room/car?
-
- I'd like references to articles on this subject, along with a simple
- explanation if possible.
-
- Thanks
