When both sound waves meet and combine together..
..an effect called destructive interference arises which, in simple terms means that the noisy sound waves get cancelled out by counter waves from active noise cancellation system, thus creating a noise free zone.
Active noise cancellation systems can be particularly effective at low frequencies where the wavelength of sound is in the range of meters and other solutions tend to become over-engineered or fail to deliver enough efficiency for noise level reduction.
The advantages are that the speakers and measurement sensors do not obstruct the air pathway of for e.g. HVAC duct or louvres outlets. Active systems can adapt dynamically to changes in noise signal and follow them accordingly providing robust solution for blocking excessive noise.
APPLICATIONS INCLUDE:
- Power and distribution transformers
- Compressors
- Low frequency machines
