Abstract
A noise controller includes: a noise detector; a control filter that performs signal processing on a noise signal using a control factor; a speaker that reproduces an output signal from the control filter; an error microphone that detects a residual noise at a control point; a transmission characteristics correction filter that performs signal processing on the noise signal, using characteristics of sound transmission from the speaker to the error microphone; a factor updater that updates the control factor; a correction filter that performs signal processing on an output signal from the control filter, using the characteristics of sound transmission; a subtractor that subtracts, from an error signal indicative of the residue noise, an output signal from the correction filter; and an effect measuring unit that measures a noise reduction effect at the control point based on a difference between an output signal from the subtractor and the error signal.
