Abstract
An active noise reduction device includes: a reference signal input terminal that receives a reference signal from a reference signal source attached to an automobile; a simulated vibration transfer characteristics filter unit that generates a second signal by correcting, using simulated vibration transfer characteristics, a first signal for outputting, from a loudspeaker attached to the automobile, a sound different from a canceling sound, the simulated vibration transfer characteristics simulating vibration transfer characteristics from the loudspeaker to the reference signal source; a first subtracter that outputs a corrected reference signal obtained by subtracting the second signal generated, from the reference signal received by the reference signal input terminal; and an adaptive filter unit that applies an adaptive filter to the corrected reference signal outputted from the first subtracter to generate a canceling signal to be used to output the canceling sound.
