| dc.description.abstract | Holes in walls of enclosures or buildings are often the weak link in the chain of sound insulation. This paper in-troduces an analytical model to calculate the sound transmission from a baffled rectangular hole based on the modal expansion approach, and proposes to install an active noise control system inside the hole to improve the transmission loss of the perforated wall. Different control source and error sensing strategies are investigated, and it is found that for a 30 cm thick wall with a 6 cm by 6 cm hole, an active control system with 1 control source and 1 error sensor can achieve more than 20 dB attenuation up to 2700 Hz, while that with a compound control source consisting of 4 loudspeakers, the system can achieve similar reduction up to 3900 Hz. | en_US |
