Abstract
A reference microphone is disposed close to a primary microphone through an enclosure wall of an appliance incorporating microphones, and a noise generated by mechanical systems and included in an output of the primary microphone is canceled by an adaptive filter. In a smaller hardware scale than a case of mounting a sensor for noise reference directly to a noise source, a noise component can be canceled more effectively depending on changes of noise environments.
