Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A noise-suppression assembly of a mechanical drive system having a rotational frequency includes an audio filter unit configured to receive a first audio signal and a timing signal of the mechanical drive system. The audio filter unit generates a noise-cancellation signal based on a frequency of the timing signal to suppress a noise generated by the mechanical drive system and to apply the noise-cancellation signal to the first audio signal to produce a filtered first audio signal. The frequency of the timing signal is based on the rotational frequency of the mechanical drive system.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A noise-suppression assembly of a mechanical drive system having a rotational frequency, the mechanical drive system including a rotor of a helicopter, the assembly comprising: an audio filter unit configured to receive a first audio signal and a timing signal of the mechanical drive system, the audio filter unit configured to generate a noise-cancellation signal based on a frequency of the timing signal, said frequency based on the rotational frequency of t…
