Abstract
This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for active noise control (ANC). The present implementations more specifically relate to filter adaptation techniques for recursively training an infinite impulse response (IIR) filter to convert a reference audio signal to an anti-noise signal. In some aspects, an ANC system may record, via a feedforward microphone, a reference audio signal representing external noise, and may further record, via a feedback microphone, an error signal representing residual noise resulting from passive attenuation of the external noise via a primary path between the microphones. The ANC system may further estimate an IIR filter that converts the reference audio signal to the error signal based on a secondary path. In some implementations, the ANC system may recursively update the IIR filter coefficients based, at least in part, on the coefficients associated with previous frames of the reference audio signal and the error signal.
