Abstract
An active noise cancellation (ANC) system is provided with at least one loudspeaker to project anti-noise sound within a passenger cabin of a vehicle in response to receiving an anti-noise signal. At least one microphone provides an error signal indicative of noise and the anti-noise sound within the passenger cabin. An occupancy controller is programmed to modify a transfer function between the at least one microphone and at least one virtual microphone based on an occupancy signal indicative of occupant presence within the passenger cabin. An adaptive filter controller is programmed to filter the error signal using the transfer function to obtain an estimated virtual microphone error signal. A controllable filter generates the anti-noise signal based on the estimated virtual microphone error signal.
