Abstract

An indoor sound-modulating device is provided. The indoor sound-modulating device includes a low-frequency noise detector, an automatic actuator and an audio signal generator. The low-frequency noise detector detects low-frequency noise and generates a first modulating signal in response to the detected low-frequency noise. The automatic actuator issues a second modulating signal in response to a predetermined state. The audio signal generator generates a low-frequency audio signal for eliminating the low-frequency noise in response to the first modulating signal and generates a high-frequency repellent audio signal in response to the second modulating signal. The low-frequency audio signal has a frequency ranging from 20 Hz to 350 Hz, while the high-frequency repellent audio signal has a frequency not less than 8000 Hz.

Claims (17)

1. An indoor sound-modulating device comprising:

a low-frequency noise detector for detecting low-frequency noise and generating a first modulating signal in response to the detected low-frequency noise;

an automatic actuator issuing a second modulating signal in response to a predetermined state; and

an audio signal generator in communication with the low-frequency noise detector and the automatic actuator, the audio signal generator generating a low-frequency audio signal for eliminating the low-frequency noise in response to the first modulating signal and generating a high-frequency repellent audio signal in response to the second modulating signal, the low-frequency audio signal having a frequency ranging from 20 Hz to 350 Hz, the high-frequency repellent audio signal having a frequency greater than or equal to 8000 Hz.

2. The indoor sound-modulating device according to claim 1 , wherein the first modulating signal generated by the low-frequency noise detector and the low-frequency noise have similar waveforms in antiphase.

3. The indoor sound-modulating device according to claim 1 , wherein the automatic actuator comprises a motion detector for detecting whether an object is moving within a specific region and generating the second modulating signal if the predetermined state is met according to the detected moving object.

4. The indoor sound-modulating device according to claim 1 , wherein the automatic actuator comprises a timer for issuing the second modulating signal if the predetermined state representing a specific period of time is met.

5. The indoor sound-modulating device according to claim 1 , wherein the audio signal generator comprises an amplifier circuit and a speaker, the high-frequency repellent audio signal having an intensity less than or equal to 60 dB.

6. An indoor sound-modulating device comprising:

a low-frequency noise detector for detecting low-frequency noise and generating a first modulating signal in response to the detected low-frequency noise; and

an audio signal generator in communication with the low-frequency noise detector, the audio signal generator generating a low-frequency audio signal for eliminating the low-frequency noise in response to the first modulating signal, the low-frequency audio signal having a frequency ranging from 20 Hz to 350 Hz.

7. The indoor sound-modulating device according to claim 6 , wherein the first modulating signal generated by the low-frequency noise detector and the low-frequency noise have similar waveforms in antiphase.

8. An indoor sound-modulating device comprising:

an automatic actuator issuing a second modulating signal in response to a predetermined state; and

an audio signal generator in communication with the automatic actuator, the audio signal generator generating a high-frequency repellent audio signal in response to the second modulating signal, the high-frequency repellent audio signal having a frequency greater than or equal to 8000 Hz and having an intensity less than or equal to 60 dB.

9. The indoor sound-modulating device according to claim 8 , wherein the automatic actuator comprises a motion detector for detecting whether an object is moving within a specific region and generating the second modulating signal if the predetermined state is met according to the detected moving object.

10. The indoor sound-modulating device according to claim 8 , wherein the automatic actuator comprises a timer for issuing the second modulating signal if the predetermined state representing a specific period of time is met.
