  • Double-layered active structure for reducing noise transmission through sound insulating barriers (24)
    Sound insulating enclosures are a basic technical measure commonly used to reduce noise. Insulation of paasive sound insulating barriers, however, decreases with a decrease in frequency. Insulation in the low frequency range can be increased by using active noise control methods. This article presents the structure and principle of operation of a double-layered active structure to limit the transmission of noise through barriers. An algorithm, which extrapolates the error microphone signal based on signals from the vibration transducers, is used for structure control. This article presents structure performance in laboratory conditions.
