AT SOURCE: MUFFLER(NARROW BAND NOISE CANCELLATION) IT IS USUALLY BEST TO CANCEL THE NOISE AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE SOURCE" Active Noise Cancellation
AT SOURCE: MUFFLER(CONTINUED) • CHARACTERISTICS • STRAIGHT THROUGH PASSIVE MUFFLER REDUCES BACKGROUND AND HIGH FREQUENCY NOISE • ACTIVE CANCELLATION AT THE END OF THE EXHAUST GLOBALLY REDUCES TONAL NOISE COMPONENTS TO THE BACKGROUND • BENEFITS • LOW BACK PRESSURE • FUEL ECONOMY • QUIET • SIZE AND WEIGHT • APPLICATIONS • PRIMARY POWER EXHAUST • AUXILIARY POWER GENERATORS (EXHAUST NOISE) • BULK TRANSFER VACUUM SYSTEMS • COMPRESSOR INLET NOISE Active Noise Cancellation
Vacuum Muffler • Application: 100 horsepower diesel vacuum. Used to load and unload railroad cars (CSX MasterVac –10/1990) • Noise Sources • Vacuum Exhaust: An Active Muffler, along with a straight-through, passive muffler. • Diesel Exhaust: a better passive muffler. • Engine Block: Passive housing. • Vibration: Compliant mounts. Active Noise Cancellation
Vacuum Muffler(Continued) “The quiet system loads/unloads a rail car 20% faster than the noisy system it replaced.” Active Noise Cancellation
CSX MasterVac Active Noise Cancellation
Diesel Engine Muffler • Application: 450 horsepower diesel engine. 522 in3, 2-stroke Used to generate electrical power (Detroit Diesel 6V-92 at 1800 RPM) • Noise Sources • Exhaust: An Active Muffler, along with a straight-through, passive muffler. • Air Intake: Air filter • Engine Block: Passive housing. • Vibration: Compliant mounts. Active Noise Cancellation
Diesel Muffler Results(Demonstration Audio) “The Active muffler system is 20% smaller than the conventional passive muffle it replaced.” Active Noise Cancellation
Along a Transmission Path(Broadband Noise Cancellation) "FEED FORWARD CANCELLATION IS THE CLASSICAL APPROACH AND IS OFTEN HIGHLIGHTED IN THE TECHNICAL LITERATURE" Active Noise Cancellation
CONTROLLING VIBRATION "CONTROLLING VIBRATION NEAR THE SOURCE CAN GREATLY REDUCE ACOUSTICAL NOISE AND REDUCE WEAR" Active Noise Cancellation
COMPLIANT MOUNT(CONTINUED) • CHARACTERISTICS • ROTATING MACHINE FLOATS FREELY AT VIBRATION FREQUENCIES • NO VIBRATION ENERGY IS TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE MOUNT • FAIL SAFE - THE PASSIVE MOUNT IS STILL THERE IF THE ACTIVE SYSTEM STOPS WORKING • BENEFITS • OPERATOR COMFORT - VIBRATIONREDUCED • SECONDARY ACOUSTICAL NOISE ELIMINATED • REDUCED WEAR • APPLICATIONS • ENGINES • AUXILIARY GENERATORS • REFRIGERATION UNITS • COMPRESSORS Active Noise Cancellation

Speakers ResidualMicrophones Equalizer Analog Heaset(Broadband Noise Cancellation) An open-back, analog, noise canceling headset has good low-frequency attenuation and passes higher frequencies without attenuation. Active Noise Cancellation
Zone Cancellation(Interacting Channels) "PLACEMENT OF SPEAKERS AND MICROPHONES REQUIRES CAREFUL ACOUSTICAL ENGINEERING TO PRODUCE A WELL BEHAVED SYSTEM" Active Noise Cancellation
Saab 2000 Turboprop The SAAB 2000 aircraft (50 passengers) has an ANC system for reducing the noise in the cabin. http://www.ultraquiet.com This is achieved by measuring the sound with microphones (green) and generating canceling sound waves using speakers (red). The ANC system has 72 microphones and 36 speakers (a complex multivariable problem). A key advantage is a dramatic weight savings compared to passive treatments alone. Sonograms (a graphical representation of sound) left shows sound levels within the aircraft while in flight. Blues and greens represent lower levels, oranges and reds are higher.
