WINC: A Wireless IoT Network for Multi-Noise Source Cancellation

Haitham Al Hassanieh, Junfeng Guan, Jiaming Wang

This paper introduces Wireless IoT-based Noise Cancellation (WINC) which defines a framework for leveraging a wireless network of IoT microphones to enhance active noise cancellation in noise-canceling headphones. The IoT microphones forward ambient noise ...

Corona discharge actuator as an active sound absorber under normal and oblique incidence

Hervé Lissek, Stanislav Sergeev, Thomas Humbert

In the majority of active sound absorbing systems, a conventional electrodynamic loudspeaker is used as a controlled source. However, particular situations may require an actuator that is more resistant to harsh environments, adjustable in shape, and light ...

High-frequency broadband laser phase noise cancellation using a delay line

Timo Zwettler

Laser phase noise remains a limiting factor in many experimental settings, including metrology, time-keeping, as well as quantum optics. Hitherto this issue was addressed at low frequencies ranging from well below 1 Hz to maximally 100 kHz. However, a wide ...

A phenomenological extended-reaction boundary model for time-domain wave-based acoustic simulations under sparse reflection conditions using a wave splitting method

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

In environmental acoustics and in room acoustics, many surfaces exhibit extended-reaction (ER) behavior, i.e., their surface impedance varies with the angle of the incident sound wave. This paper presents a phenomenological method for modeling such angle d ...

Friction law and hysteresis in granular materials

Matthieu Wyart, Eric DeGiuli

The macroscopic friction of particulate materials often weakens as the flow rate is increased, leading to potentially disastrous intermittent phenomena including earthquakes and landslides. We theoretically and numerically study this phenomenon in simple g ...

Assessment of a metamaterial-inspired active acoustic liner concept for application to aircraft engine noise reduction

Hervé Lissek, Romain Boulandet, Sami Driss Karkar, Gaël Matten

Acoustic liners are a widespread solution for noise mitigation at aircraft engine level, thanks to lightweight and relatively small dimensions for integration within nacelles. Although conventional liners might be designed to target multiple tonal frequenc ...

Adaptive noise cancelling systems for acoustic wearable device

Mohamed Ben Arbia

Acoustic noise is present in many environments. Such noise is undesirable and provides a poor listening experience. Active noise cancellation refers to the fact of reducing undesired noise using a cancelling signal emitted trough a secondary source. Many m ...

Metamaterial buffer for broadband non-resonant impedance matching of obliquely incident acoustic waves

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury

Broadband impedance matching and zero reflection of acoustic waves at a planar interface between two natural materials is a rare phenomenon, unlike its optical counterpart, frequently observed for polarized light incident at the Brewster angle. In this art ...

Structured Sparsity Models for Reverberant Speech Separation

Hervé Bourlard, Volkan Cevher, Afsaneh Asaei, Mohammad Golbabaee

We tackle the multi-party speech recovery problem through modeling the acoustic of the reverberant chambers. Our approach exploits structured sparsity models to perform room modeling and speech recovery. We propose a scheme for characterizing the room acou ...
