Introduction

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!
