Abstract

Embodiments of this application disclose a noise cancellation apparatus and method. The noise cancellation apparatus includes a main control unit and a noise cancellation processing circuit. The main control unit determines a noise cancellation parameter based on a noise cancellation level index or a feature value for determining a matching degree between a headset and an ear canal of a user. The noise cancellation processing unit obtains an inverse phase noise of an ambient noise based on the noise cancellation parameter. After the inverse phase noise is mixed with a played downlink audio signal, the ambient noise can be canceled. In addition, because the noise cancellation parameter is determined from a preset noise cancellation parameter library based on the received or autonomously determined noise cancellation level index, instead of being uniformly configured, a noise cancellation level can be flexibly adjusted, thereby improving a noise cancellation effect and user experience.
