FxLMS Active Noise Control/Evidence
Method evidence record

FxLMS Active Noise Control

The Filtered-x Least Mean Squares (FxLMS) algorithm is an adaptive filter used in active noise control (ANC) systems to reduce unwanted sound by generating anti-noise. Pioneered by Widrow and Stearns in 1975 and refined by Eriksson and colleagues, FxLMS is the most widely deployed algorithm in commercial noise-canceling headphones, hearing aids, automotive cabins, and industrial noise barriers. It works by continuously learning the acoustical path and dynamically adjusting a canceling signal in real time.
