This paper presents the development of a neuro-adaptive active noise control (ANC) system. Multi-layered perceptron neural networks with a backpropagation learning algorithm are considered in both the modelling and control contexts. The capabilities of the neural network in modelling dynamical systems are investigated. A feedforward ANC structure is considered for optimum cancellation of broadband noise in a three-dimensional propagation medium. An on-line adaptation and training mechanism allowing a neural network architecture to characterise the optimal controller within the ANC system is developed. The neuro-adaptive ANC algorithm thus developed is implemented within a free-field environment and simulation results verifying its performance are presented and discussed.
