Abstract :
This paper presents audio-integrated snore active noise control (ANC) systems based on the portable pillow setup to effectively reduce the annoying snore and mask the residual noise. Computer simulations and real-time experiments show the performance of the ANC systems based on the pillow setup achieved higher noise reduction at the ears of the snorer´s bed partner as compared with the headboard setup. In addition, the snore ANC uses the audio-integrated algorithm for masking residual noise.
