1. A heteronomous controller of a personal active noise attenuation system comprising:
- a feedback controller adapted for receiving an acoustically transduced signal from a noise error sensor and for generating a feedback active noise attenuating control signal portion;
a feedforward controller adapted for;
receiving the acoustically transduced signal from the noise error sensor;
receiving a noise reference signal from a noise reference signal sensor; and
applying an adaptive signal processing algorithm to the acoustically transduced signal from the noise error sensor and to the noise reference signal to generate an adaptive active noise attenuation control signal portion; and
a linear combiner adapted for summing a linear combination of the feedback active noise attenuating control signal portion and the adaptive active noise attenuation control signal portion so as to generate a heteronomous control signal.
