Each device in a set of
signal relaying devices (D1, D2, D3) acquires a respective instance (A1s, A2s, A3s) of an acoustic source
signal (A) emitted from a
noise pollution source (S), produces a respective feedforward
signal (s1, s2, s3) comprising the respective instance (A1s, A2s, A3s) together with information designating a respective position (P1, P2, P3) of the device and time-stamp data (t1, t2, t3) to indicate when and where the respective instance (A1s, A2s, A3s) of the acoustic source signal (A) was acquired, and transmits this in a respective
radio signal (R1, R2, R3). A target device (T) receives the respective radio signals (R1, R2, R3), and based thereon produces a cancelling signal (CSST) for an anti-
noise signal (ANST) that suppresses the acoustic source signal (AT) after having propagated from the
noise pollution source (S) to the target device (T). The cancelling signal (CSST) is produced based on the respective instances (A1s, A2s, A3s), the time-stamp data (t1, t2, t3), the information designating the respective positions (P1, P2, P3) of the devices and a target position (PT) of the target device (T).
