Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of noise control, and particularly relates to a noise control system based on metamaterials and a machine learning method. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the acceleration of modern industrialization and urbanization, noise pollution has become one of the important environmental problems that need to be solved. Traditional noise control methods, such as soundproof barriers and mufflers, can reduce noise levels to some extent, but often have the shortcomings of limited noise reduction effect, long design cycle, and high cost. Especially in complex noise environments such as old transformer substations and other industrial sites, due to the diversity of noise sources and the complexity of noise propagation paths, traditional noise control methods often fail to achieve the desired noise reduction effect.

[0003] In recent years, the rapid development of metamaterials has provided a new approach to noise control. Metamaterials are a kind of artificial composite materials with special physical properties. By precisely designing their microstructure, they can precisely control sound waves, electromagnetic waves, and other waves.

[0004] The prior art discloses an adjustable acoustic metamaterial barrier system for transformer noise spatial distribution characteristics, which is composed of an acoustic metamaterial barrier (3) and a noise measurement and analysis system (2). The acoustic metamaterial barrier (3) is composed of a metamaterial support bracket (7) and a fractal structure acoustic metamaterial module (8). The metamaterial support bracket (7) is parallel to the transformer sound source surface (1). The fractal structure acoustic metamaterial module (8) is embedded in the metamaterial support bracket (4). The noise measurement and analysis system (2) measures the noise in the range of the acoustic metamaterial barrier (3) and analyzes the noise spatial distribution characteristics. According to the noise spatial distribution characteristics, different parameters of the fractal structure acoustic metamaterial module (8) are selected. When the sound wave is transmitted to the acoustic metamaterial barrier (3), due to the selection of the acoustic metamaterial module (8) parameters according to the noise distribution characteristics of the corresponding position, the noise amplitude of the target noise reduction area can be greatly reduced.

[0005] However, the application of metamaterials in the field of noise control still faces many challenges. For example, how to quickly predict the noise reduction performance of acoustic metamaterials with different structural parameters, and how to build an efficient noise control system.
