1. A method, comprising:
- in a vehicle noise reduction system, detecting the engine speed and the rate of change of the engine speed of a vehicle engine;
determining an adaptation rate for use in an adaptive filter of the vehicle noise reduction system based on the rate of change of frequency of a reference input signal indicative of the engine speed, so that the adaptive filter adapts more rapidly when the engine speed is increasing or decreasing than when the engine speed is constant;
applying the adaptation rate to coefficients of the adaptive filter;
applying the coefficients to an audio signal; and
transducing the audio signal.

Abstract
A method for determining leakage factors or adaptation rates, or both, for adaptive filters in an active noise reduction system. The leakage factor or adaptation rate, or both, may vary depending on a parameter of an input reference signal. The parameter may include one or more of reference signal input frequency, rate of change of reference input signal frequency, if a predetermined triggering condition exits, or if a predetermined event has occurred.

8. A method for operating an active noise reduction system comprising:
-
detecting engine speed and rate of change of the engine speed of the vehicle engine; providing a reference input signal indicative of the engine speed; providing filter coefficients of an adaptive filter in response to a noise signal; determining adaptation rates associated with the filter coefficients; applying the filter coefficients to an audio signal; and wherein the determining comprises in response to a first triggering condition, providing a first adaptation rate; in response to a second triggering condition, providing a second adaptation rate, different from the first adaptation rate; and in the absence of the first triggering condition and the second triggering condition, providing a default adaptation rate; and wherein at least one of the providing the first adaptation rate and providing the second adaptation rate comprises providing an adaptation rate value determined as a function of the rate of change of the reference input signal so that the adaptive filter adapts more rapidly when the engine speed is increasing or decreasing than when the engine speed is constant. - View Dependent Claims (9)
