Active Sound Control and Noise Cancellation over Space

This project aims to address the critical issues for creating acoustic quiet zones in a noisy environment. It willprovide novel signal processing theory for further development of active noise cancellation techniques overspatial regions. New technologies developed from this project are expected to underpin the futuredevelopment of acoustic signal processing research and will have a broad range of applications such asreduction of noise inside cars, creation of individual quiet zones in passenger planes and mitigation ofacoustic noise made by industrial plants to neighboring suburbs. The outcomes from this proposal will alsohave economic importance as it can reduce the health risk posed to people working or living in noisyenvironments
