Noise problem that occurs in living environment is a big trouble in the economic, social and environmental aspects. In this paper, the filtered-X LMS algorithms, the adjoint LMS algorithms, and the robust adjoint LMS algorithms will be introduced for applications in active noise control(ANC). The filtered-X LMS algorithms is currently the most popular method for adapting a filter when the filter exits a transfer function in the error path. The adjoint LMS algorithms, that prefilter the error signals instead of divided reference signals in frequency band, is also used for adaptive filter algorithms to reduce the computational burden of multi-channel ANC systems such as the 3D space. To improve performance of the adjoint LMS ANC system, an off-line measured transfer function is connected parallel to the LMS filter. This parallel-fixed filter acts as a noise controller only when the LMS filter is abnormal condition. The superior performance of the proposed system was compared through simulation with the adjoint LMS ANC system when the adaptive filter is in normal and abnormal condition.

In this paper, a narrowband active noise control system to reduce the noise in thermal power plants is proposed. The narrowband active noise control system contains rectangular wave generator and has a multi channel feed forward adaptive algorithms which uses the adjoint LMS algorithm. Although the effectiveness have been proven in the filtered-X LMS broadband active noise control system, this algorithm has much more computational complexity than that of narrowband active noise control system. The proposed active control system that uses the adjoint LMS algorithm, compared to the previous broadband active noise control system, not only is more effective in controlling narrowband noise but also has a more stable structure. Adaptive filter contains the FIR structure and IIR structure for primary and secondary path models. The simulation proves the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, a multi-channel active noise control(ANC) system using subband hybrid control techniques is proposed. Subband techniques could reduce computational burden and improve the performance of ANC systems by dividing several frequency subband and adjusting adaptive filter coefficients. So it can effectively cancel noises at wanted frequency range and use lower order adaptive filter than the existing algorithms. The adjoint LMS algorithm, which prefilter the error signals instead of the divided reference signals in frequency band, is also used for adaptive filter algorithms to reduce the computational burden of the subband adaptive systems. To improve performance of the ANC system, a weighted hybrid control technique, which has weightily properties of feedforward control systems and feedback control systems, is applied. This algorithm shows higher stability and good noise attenuation property in broad band ANC systems. Computer simulations were performed to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
