Abstract

Provided is a technique for selecting a cancellation filter coefficient that can stably cancel noise for a user using a seat of an aircraft, an automobile, or the like. A cancellation filter coefficient selection apparatus includes: a recording unit configured to record cancellation filter coefficients; a seat position acquisition unit configured to acquire a position of a seat used by a user; and a cancellation filter coefficient selection unit configured to, from among the cancellation filter coefficients recorded in the recording unit, select a cancellation filter coefficient corresponding to the position of the seat as a cancellation filter coefficient to be used in filtering for generating a cancellation signal for cancelling noise at a position where quiet is desired, based on a reference signal output by a reference microphone configured to collect noise in a predetermined space. The reference microphone and a speaker for emitting sound based on the cancellation signal are installed on the seat, and positions of the reference microphone and the speaker in the predetermined space change accompanying movement of the seat.
