TY - JOUR AU - Nakashima, Ann AU - Hodgson, Murray PY - 2003/09/01 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - Effect of the ground surface and meteorological conditions on the active control of a monopole noise source JF - Canadian Acoustics JA - Canadian Acoustics VL - 31 IS - 3 SE - Proceedings of the Acoustics Week in Canada DO - UR - https://jcaa.caa-aca.ca/index.php/jcaa/article/view/1564 SP - 88-89 AB - Atmospheric refraction and soft ground have a significant effect on the performance of a single-channel active noise control (ANC) system. However, under such conditions the noise levels near the ground were significantly attenuated due to the upward refraction of sound waves. It would be more important to concentrate on attenuating the noise under temperature inversion and downwind conditions. ER -
