Traditional active noise control (ANC) systems rely on a physical sensor to measure the error signal at the desired location of attenuation. The error signal is then used to update an adaptive controller, which ultimately attenuates the measured response. However, it is not always practical to use traditional ANC in real-world applications. For example, as small unmanned aerial systems (UAS) become more commonly used, community noise exposure also increases, along with the desire to reduce UAS noise. Traditional ANC systems that rely on physical sensors at observer locations are impractical, since a UAS does not typically have real-time access to the response at an observer's ears, which is realistically in the far-field. Virtual error sensing (VES) can augment an ANC system using near-field measurements to estimate the response at a desired far-field location. In this way, the VES technique effectively shifts the zone of quiet from the location of the physical sensor(s) to a different "virtual" location. This thesis begins by outlining past work that used traditional ANC methods and virtual error sensing techniques. Numerical modeling results showing the predicted spatial change in SPL achieved using a virtual sensor will be presented. Experimental tests used ANC to attenuate the noise from a single UAS rotor at far-field locations using a near-field microphone and the remote microphone technique (RMT) to develop the VES. The results of the VES alone and with an ANC approach at several far-field virtual locations will be presented and discussed.
