In 1936, Paul Lueg’s seminal patent laid the cornerstone for a revolutionary discipline: Active Noise Control (ANC). Nine decades later, we proudly invite researchers, engineers, and innovators worldwide to commemorate this 90-year legacy at the Active Noise Control Workshop —a landmark event exploring how digitalization and AI have propelled ANC into unprecedented realms of innovation.
This year’s workshop will not only honor the pioneers, milestones, and transformative applications of ANC but also chart a bold course for its future. As we bridge historical achievements with tomorrow’s challenges—from AI-driven adaptive algorithms to human-centric acoustic design—we seek your expertise to shape the next chapter of silence-making science. Join us in celebrating a legacy of quiet and help define ANC’s evolving role in a noisy world.
Submit a Proposal for a Special Session and help us spotlight cutting-edge advancements, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and inspire the next generation of noise control pioneers!
Why Propose a Special Session?
Special Sessions are the heartbeat of this anniversary edition. They will dive deep into emerging trends, unresolved challenges, and visionary applications of ANC. Whether you’re exploring AI-driven noise cancellation, ANC for automobile, or ANC in sustainable tech, your session could define the next chapter of this field.
We Welcome Proposals On:
- Historical breakthroughs and lessons learned over 90 years
- ANC in hearables; in automobile; and Spatial ANC
- ANC in emerging domains (e.g., urban mobility, healthcare, aerospace)
- Machine learning/adaptive algorithms for noise control
- Human-centric noise mitigation and psychoacoustic innovations
- Cross-disciplinary collaborations (e.g., materials science, IoT, energy systems)
