Abstract

A device and method is presented in which an adjustment to the noise conditions is made for the purpose of controlling the volume and other variables of a desired signal offered in a monitored space, in the course of which, for the purpose of adjustment, a monitoring signal occurring at the monitoring point is picked up and split into a desired-signal component and a noise-signal component. These two components then become the basis for the adjustment. Also in accordance with an embodiment of the invention, an adaptive warped filter is provided. The adaptive warped filter is used to extract a noise related signal which is then used as part of the basis for the adjustment. In an embodiment, the extracted noise signal is corrected and used to control a dynamic controller which adjusts the volume.
