The object is to subtract out as much of the noise as possible.
The firewall attenuates and filters the noise reaching the listener's ear, so it is not the same as . There is also a delay due to acoustic propagation in the air. For maximal cancellation, an adaptive filteris thus needed to make as similar as possible to the delayed .
What conditions must we impose upon the microphone locations for this to work? (Think causality and physics!)
We assume , , and are zero-mean signals, and that is independent of and . Then Since the input signal has no information about in it, minimizing can only affect the second term, which is the standard Wiener filtering problem, with solution
