Abstract
A built-in microphone device for use in an apparatus having a mechanism section generating internal noise inside a housing of the apparatus includes a main microphone for picking up an external sound; a noise reference microphone for picking up the internal noise; an adaptive filter member for generating a control audio signal based on an output signal from the noise reference microphone using a filter coefficient; a signal subtraction section for subtracting the control audio signal generated by the adaptive filter member from an output signal from the main microphone to generate a subtraction result; and a filter coefficient update control section for receiving an operation signal generated at the time of an operation of the mechanism section, and in response to the operation signal, updating the filter coefficient of the adaptive filter member based on the subtraction result generated by the signal subtraction section and an output signal from the noise reference microphone.
