Abstract 

Active noise control (ANC) aims at reducing a noise source at a listening point by destructive interference with a reversed phase noise emitted by one or more controlling devices. These data are from an active vibration control (AVC) system applied to a wall of the metal box of a cogeneration plant. It makes use of electro-dynamic shakers as controllers and accelerometers as error and reference signals. The algorithm employed for generating the cancelling signals is a single-reference, single-input multiple-output (MIMO) Filtered-X Normalized Least Mean Square (FxNLMS). It has been implemented in a Virtual Studio Technology (VST) plugin. The effectiveness of the solution is first demonstrated in a laboratory experiment. Then, the results obtained on the cogenerator are presented, showing remarkable performance also in the real-world application, with a reduction of 17.5 dB, 13.2 dB, and 11.8 dB at the frequencies 100 Hz, 112.5 Hz, and 125 Hz, respectively.

 

Instructions: 

These files contain the .WAV audio results of an active vibration control (AVC) system applied at first to a single panel in a laboratory environment,
then to a wall of the metal box of a cogeneration plant.

Files:
1. Lab_test_ANC_ON-OFF_10s_Tone100Hz: contains the result of the laboratory environment when the disturbance noise is a pure tone at 100 Hz.
The ANV system is ON for the first 10 s, and then is turned OFF (clearly visible in the waveform).
2. Lab_test_ANC_ON-OFF_10s_White_Noise: contains the result of the laboratory environment when the disturbance noise is a white noise low pass-filtered at 500 Hz.
The ANV system is ON for the first 10 s, and then is turned OFF (clearly visible in the waveform).
3. Cogenerator_ANC_off: contains the vibration data of the cogenerator plant metal box when the ANV system is OFF.
4. Cogenerator_ANC_on: contains the vibration data results of the cogenerator plant metal box when the ANV system is ON.

Audio specification:
- mono audio;
- Fs = 48 kHz;
- 32 bit float.
