The system of active control of noise filtering through glass partitions using round robin algorithm (21) One of the functions of glass partitions, commonly used in construction, is the reduction of noise. These partitions are characterized by low sound insulation for low frequencies. This article presents the concept of a multi-channel active noise control system that enables the reduction of low-frequency noise transmitted through the glass partition. The system is based on a neural network with the modified version of the backpropagation algorithm using a round robin alhorithm. The structure and principles of the system are discussed and the results of its simulations are presented.
