Do you Know-it-alls know of any software that takes a desktop (with decent speakers) and generates active noise cancelation?

 

I'm asking cause I have some fans running 24/7 in my apartment (Yay water damage? ) and I'd like to try and cancel the white noise. (unplugging them isn't an option)

I only know http://simplynoise.com/ , is that sufficient?

[G+_John Mink]

No, the problem is I already have a ridiculuos amount of white noise. I need something that can make it quieter. And maybe this isn't feasible?

Carson Penticuff the entire room, or at least other rooms. Not sure if it would be easier to put the speakers in a doorway between rooms & cancel everything that passes or try to cancel in a single room.

I use Bose noise canceling headphones to reduce the white notice inside commercial aircraft. I suspect, though, that your looking for a non $$$ solution. But, having been through the water damage deal, for me I only had to put up with it for a couple of days.

That would be kludge at best. 

 

The reason why noise-cancellation units work is because they can cancel a combined waveform right before it hits your ears. Within a room you would have a nearly infinite number of waveforms to cancel as you move through the space.

mmk, I was hoping the doorway trick would work....but clearly I was being way too optimistic  >_<

 

oh well.
