technical field

The present application relates to the field of active noise reduction technology, in particular to the active noise reduction technology for earphones. And more particularly, it relates to an active noise reduction method and device and an audio playback device in the field of active noise reduction technology.

Background technique

Active noise control (ANC) is a noise reduction technology and one of the methods used in earphone noise reduction. The active noise reduction function refers to the generation of reverse sound waves equal to the external noise through the noise reduction system to neutralize the noise, thereby achieving the effect of noise reduction.

The basic principle of active noise reduction is to calculate the reverse phase sound wave of the reference signal at the fastest speed based on the reference signal collected by the reference microphone set outside the headset and/or the error signal collected by the error microphone set inside the headset. , and then control the speaker to play the reverse sound wave to achieve the effect of active noise reduction. Therefore, it is calculated that the lower the time delay of the anti-phase sound wave is, the better the effect of active noise reduction is, otherwise it is easy to have an adverse effect.

However, due to the different wavelengths corresponding to different audio frequencies, the time required to calculate the inverse sound waves is also different. Among them, the higher the audio frequency, the shorter the time required to calculate the reverse sound wave, even in the sub-millisecond level. Therefore, the existing active noise reduction system has poor noise reduction effect on high frequency noise.
