Abstract
An active noise reducing device includes switchover frequency memory which stores a speaker having weaker influence of level drop or dips in gain characteristics of transmission from first speaker and second speaker both working as secondary noise generators to microphone working as a residual signal detector, and also stores a frequency band of that speaker. Output switcher appropriately and selectively switches first speaker over to second speaker in response to the noise frequency at present calculated based on the rpm of engine by frequency calculator. This structure allows the active noise reducing device to work steadily even if level drop or a dip occurs in the gain characteristics of transmission from the speaker to the microphone, and allows suppressing the occurrence of abnormal sound due to divergence or distorted sound due to excessive output. Ideal noise reduction effect can be expected.
