Abstract

A device may include a housing, a transducer coupled to the housing for reproducing an audio signal including both a source audio signal for playback to a listener and an anti-noise signal for countering the effects of ambient audio sounds in an acoustic output of the transducer, an error microphone coupled to the housing in proximity to the transducer for providing an error microphone signal indicative of the acoustic output of the transducer and the ambient audio sounds at the transducer, and a processing circuit. The processing circuit may implement a feedback filter having a response that generates the anti-noise signal from a playback corrected error, the playback corrected error based on a difference between the error microphone signal and a secondary path estimate signal, an adaptive secondary path estimate filter configured to model an electro-acoustic path of the source audio signal and have a secondary path estimate response that generates the secondary path estimate signal from the source audio signal, and a coefficient control block that shapes the response of the secondary path estimate filter in conformity with a reference signal and an internal error signal in order to minimize the ambient audio sounds at the transducer, wherein the reference signal is equal to a sum of the source audio signal and the anti-noise signal.
