Abstract

PURPOSE:To suppress the sound pressure in a sound field, where a stationary acoustic noise is generated by a device, following variation of a device noise by generating a signal which is opposite in phase from the stationary acoustic noise and feeding it back. CONSTITUTION:A stationary noise source 2 in the device 1 consists generally of a rotary mechanism such as a motor. A microphone 3 converts a stationary random noise (a) that the noise source 2 generates into an electric signal (b). A noise extraction signal processing machine 4 extracts the period, amplitude, and phase of the signal (b). An opposite-phase signal processing machine 5 outputs the signal (d) which is opposite in phase from the signal (b) with the extracted information signal (c). The opposite-phase signal (d) is amplified by an amplifier 6 up to the same amplitude with the noise (a). The amplified electric signal (e) is converted by a speaker 7 into a sound signal (f), which is outputted to the outside. Consequently, the sound pressure of the sound filed composite wave composed of the noise (a) and speaker output (f) in a measurement space approximates zero and the noise is suppressed.

In the conventional computer device, steady noise is generated by the exhaust fan and the motor, and this noise is suppressed by strengthening the structure of the sound absorbing material and the device housing. However, since this method is a passive suppression method, different materials must be prepared because the suppression material differs depending on the noise characteristics, and it is not possible to follow the noise characteristics change due to the secular change of the device noise generation source, Further, there is a problem that the design cost is increased because the method is different for each manufacturing apparatus.
