An apparatus for attenuating noise emanating from a cabinet housing
noise-generating equipment includes a frame including at least one
support member configured to be mountable on the cabinet, proximate the
noise-generating equipment, at least one noise attenuation device mounted
to each support member proximate the noise-generating equipment, the at
least one noise attenuation device comprising a sound input device for
receiving a noise signal output from the noise-generating equipment, a
processing device for determining characteristics of the noise signal and
generating a cancellation signal which is identical to the noise signal
but approximately 180 degrees out-of-phase with the noise signal, and a
sound output device for outputting the cancellation signal proximate the
noise-generating equipment, to attenuate the noise emanating from the
cabinet; and a noise absorption member mounted on each support member,
the noise absorption members define surfaces that form sides of airflow
channels through the apparatus.
