In this paper, low frequency components of the applied noise field outside the normal range of human hearing are detected by an external sensor and isolated by a filter circuit, resulting in a modified residual signal with reduced low-frequency components.
Abstract
The susceptibility of an active noise cancellation system to overloading due to very low frequencies is reduced by subtracting the low frequency components of an applied noise field from the residual signal. Low frequency components of the applied noise field outside the normal range of human hearing are detected by an external sensor (14) and isolated by a filter circuit (15). The isolated low frequency signal is subtracted from the residual signal, resulting in a modified residual signal with reduced low frequency components. The cancellation system thus eliminates very low frequency cancellation signals, without sacrificing bandwidth or system performance within the audible range.

Noise reduction system

TL;DR: In this paper, a low pass filter is provided for extending the bandwidth of the system but which does not introduce unduly large phase shifts, while a high pass filter for reducing low frequency signals is provided in a feedback loop between the sound generator and microphone.

Active acoustic attenuation system with differential filtering

TL;DR: In this paper, an adaptive active acoustic attenuation system is provided with extended frequency range to attenuate undesired noise which was previously filtered out to avoid instability of the adaptive model, which operates in its stable region to provide accurate well behaved correction signals to the cancelling loudspeaker, while still receiving a low frequency input noise signal from the input microphone including frequencies below such range.
