SYSTEM FOR ACTIVE NOISE CONTROL BASED ON AUDIO SYSTEM OUTPUT
First Claim
1. A sound reduction system comprising:
- a processor; and
an active noise control system executable by the processor, the active noise control system configured to;
receive a first input signal representative of sound present in a predetermined area;
receive a second input signal representative of output produced by an audio system;
generate an anti-noise signal based on the first input signal; and
adjust the anti-noise signal based on the second input signal;
where the anti-noise signal is configured to drive a loudspeaker to produce an audible sound to destructively interfere with an undesired sound present in the space.

Abstract
An active noise control (ANC) system is configured to generate at least one anti-noise signal configured to drive a speaker to generate sound waves to destructively interfere with an undesired sound present in a target space. The at least one anti-noise signal is adjusted based an output signal of an audio system. The at least one anti-noise signal may be adjusted based on at least one of a volume level of the audio system, a power level of at least one predetermined frequency or frequency range of the output signal of the audio system, frequency content of an output signal of the audio system. The ANC system receives an error signal to adjust generation of the at least one anti-noise signal. The error signal is adjusted to compensate for adjustment of the at least one anti-noise signal based on the output signal of the audio system.
