Hummble’s Active Noise Control (ANC) system is an advanced solution designed to revolutionize the way noise is managed in heating and cooling appliances. Unlike traditional passive noise control methods, which rely on barriers, insulation, and damping materials to mitigate sound, our ANC system employs active noise-canceling technology to address low-frequency tonal noise that often eludes conventional techniques.

At the heart of the ANC system lies a proprietary algorithm (patent pending) that identifies and neutralizes disruptive sound waves generated by heat pump compressors. The system actively monitors the noise spectrum in real-time using precision microphones and sensors, generating an "anti-noise" signal to effectively cancel out problematic frequencies. This results in a quieter and more pleasant acoustic environment, enabling manufacturers to enhance product appeal and comply with increasingly stringent noise regulations.

With universality of the proprietary algorithms, same technology can be applied for active vibration cancelling (AVC).
