Abstract

An active vibration or noise suppression system is provided that achieves fast convergence of vibration or noise. A sine wave control signal y (n) is constituted by frequency of a vibration or noise source, and an amplitude filter coefficient a (n) and a phase filter coefficient φ (n) as an adaptive filter coefficient. The sine wave control signal y (n) is expressed by a sine wave having an amplitude component and a phase component, and each of an amplitude update term Δa (n+1) and a phase update term Δφ (n+1) includes a sine wave or cosine wave term having an amplitude component and a phase component. The phase component of the sine wave control signal y (n) is multiplied by a coefficient other than 1, or the phase component of the sine wave or cosine wave term of each of the amplitude update term Δa (n+1) and the phase update term Δφ (n+1) is multiplied by a coefficient other than 1.
