The optimization of secondary source configuration for an active noise control (ANC) system in its enclosed space generally focuses on noise reduction requirements at discrete points only. This may lead to the poor noise reduction performance in the whole spatial region, and it is necessary to know the information on error sensor positions in advance. To address this problem, a cost function for spatial-region-oriented noise reduction is proposed. The plane wave decomposition of the enclosed sound field is used to obtain the primary field plane waves and the unit secondary field plane wave of each candidate secondary source as the prior knowledge for configuration optimization, so as to formulate a wave-domain ANC cost function. The optimization method adopts the simulated annealing search. Taking a rigid-walled rectangular cavity as an example, the optimization method is firstly compared with two space-domain methods by using analytic values of the wave-domain prior knowledge. The comparison results show that the better reduction of spatial acoustic potential energy can be achieved independent of the error sensor configuration information. Then the estimated values of the wave-domain prior knowledge through measuring randomly distributed microphones are used to optimize the configuration of the ANC system. The optimization results suggest that the noise reduction of spatial acoustic potential energy of the optimized configuration can be better than that of the space-domain method, but the microphone positions have a great influence on the noise reduction performance.

Directional room impulse responses (DRIR) measured with spherical microphone arrays (SMA) enable the reproduction of room reverberation effects on three-dimensional surround-sound systems (e.g., Higher-Order Ambisonics) through multichannel convolution. However, such measurements inevitably contain a nondecaying noise floor that may produce an audible “infinite reverberation effect” upon convolution. If the late reverberation tail can be considered a diffuse field before reaching the noise floor, the latter may be removed and replaced with an extension of the exponentially-decaying tail synthesized as a zero-mean Gaussian noise. This has previously been shown to preserve the diffuse-field properties of the late reverberation tail when performed in the spherical harmonic domain (SHD). In this paper, we show that in the case of highly anisotropic yet incoherent late fields, the spatial symmetry of the spherical harmonics is not conducive to preserving the energy distribution of the reverberation tail. To remedy this, we propose denoising in an optimized spatial domain obtained by plane-wave decomposition (PWD), and demonstrate that this method equally preserves the incoherence of the late reverberation field.
