Special Issue Information
Dear Coleagues,
Active and Passive Noise control (ANPC) has been successfully applied to many commercial applications, such as the noise cancelling headsets used in airplane, hearing aids, noise control for head rests, vacuum cleaners, and noise-quietening car seats in automobiles; and also in bigger scale systems, such as, ventilation ducts, cooker hoods and data server racks, and free field noise control systems for the interior of propeller planes, trains, and luxury yachts, etc. In recent years, we are also witnessing growing research interest in controlling noise coming into the residential buildings through open windows. With the advancement of low-cost, fast-computation hardware, which can take on more complex multi-channel adaptive signal processing algorithms, and coupled with reliable sensors and actuators, we are expecting to see more innovative products that harness the power of ANPC to make quieter devices and machineries. However, there are still several research and development issues under investigation. In this special issue, we aim to solicit the latest research findings, new approaches and applications of ANPC to better mitigate acoustical noise in a more efficient manner and approach.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
