Abstract
An active noise control apparatus comprises a secondary sound source for generating sound canceling noise emitted from a noise source, first and second microphones sequentially arranged between the noise source and the secondary sound source at a predetermined distance in a direction from the noise source to the secondary sound source, a coefficient multiplier for multiplying an output signal of the second microphone by a coefficient corresponding to a ratio of a transfer function of the first microphone with respect to the secondary sound source to that of the second microphone with respect thereto, a subtracter for obtaining a difference between a multiplication resultant signal and an output signal of the first microphone, and a signal processor for outputting a secondary sound signal obtained by multiplying the difference signal with a predetermined coefficient to the secondary sound source.
