Low frequency noise generated by combustion turbine exhaust is one of the most difficult environmental impacts to control. When a combustion turbine power plant is located near residential areas or other sensitive receptors, it is imperative to minimize the low frequency noise being emitted. In the past, available technology was limited to passive and reactive silencers and massive enclosures or barrier walls. These techniques are expensive and can have significant impacts on megawatt output and heat rate. Active noise control technology offers an alternative for applications near sensitive receptors. An active noise control system was installed on the exhaust stack of a combustion turbine with an objective to cancel exhaust noise at frequencies below 35 Hertz (Hz). Unlike passive and reactive low frequency silencing, the active noise control system does not impact combustion turbine performance. The technology can be applied to new apparatus and can be retrofit to existing facilities with minimal changes to the design.

In order to find a solution to the control of low frequency noise in the cabin of turboprop driven aircraft, an experimental active noise control (ANC) system is introduced in the paper, which consists of vibroacoustic field analogue subsystem, acoustic field measurement subsystem and acoustic barrier exciter subsystem. Effects of both different spaces between the primary sound source and secondary sound source of the ANC system and different frequency noises on noise-reduction result are investigated based on the experimental platform. Results of the experiment show a significant potential of the ANC method for the control of low frequency noise in the cabin of turboprop driven aircraft.

In order to enhance the capacity of elimination of engine exhaust low frequency noise, a set of engine exhaust active noise control system was developed. The system was developed by using MC9S12XS128 MCU, and it is based on the theory of sound wave interference. The system can realize the voice signal acquisition, reverse phase processing and output, and can eliminate engine exhaust low frequency noise. Experimental results showed that the system has good silencing effects on the engine exhaust noise under the steady state.

Studying on adaptive active noise control (AANC) system of the truck interior cab to reduce the low-frequency noise,a normalization FLMS algorithm simulink model is established in Matlab/Simulink.Then taking it as the core,a feedforward adaptive active control system and a feedback adaptive active control system of the tuck interior cab are established in Matlab/Simulink .Considerating the actual error channels effects on systems ,the noise reduction effects of two adaptive active control systems are verified from the simulintion results.Through comparing the two wo adaptive active control systems,we found that the feedforward adaptive active control system is more stable.

Active noise control (ANC) technology can be able to reduce the low frequency noise effectively, and has been widely applied in limited enclosed equipment, such as cars, aircraft cockpits, and headphones, etc. Compared with the traditional noise reduction methods, ANC technology is a cost-effective method in handling the low-frequency noise of transformers. An experimental ANC system in a virtual substation is designed and constructed. An adaptive signal tracking ANC algorithm is proposed, and a set of ANC experimental prototypes applied to a virtual substation is designed. Based on the proposed algorithm, the distributions of the acoustics and spectral characteristics of transformer noise in substations are analyzed. Experimental results show that the effective noise reduction can be achieved an average of 5 dB(A) in a given region with respect to the absence of the ANC system.

Increased level of automobile low-frequency noise may cause significant environmental pollution, driver and passenger discomfort etc. For automobile equipped with internal combustion engine forming of either internal or external noise is mainly caused by engine operation. Approaches to automobile low-frequency noise reduction are suggested using active noise control method. The different variants of principal schemes and constructions of electronic units of forming required vibroacoustic characteristic of active noise control system were developed by the author either for complex noise reduction of experimental unit or for investigation of the separate noise sources reduction. Intercommunication of engine compartment and passenger compartment and coherent low-frequency sound radiation by air-suctioning pipe and exhaust pipe are taking into consideration. Construction of active noise control unit designed by author for complex reduction of exhaust and intake engine low-frequency noise is described. The results described in this paper may be useful for further development and application of constructions of active noise control systems as for efficient complex engine noise reduction or for reduction of the separate automobile engine noise sources.
