Abstract

An active noise eliminating system comprises microphones for detecting residual noise, speakers for generating noise elimination sound for interference with the residual noise, a noise generating condition sensor for generating noise condition, a controller for generating noise elimination signals inputted to the speakers and determined by the detected residual noise signals and the detected noise condition signal in accordance with a control algorithm including transfer functions between the speakers and microphones respectively. The transfer functions are updated on the basis of a test signal generated when noise sound diverges.
