The creation of personal sound zones is an effective solution
for delivering personalized auditory experiences in shared spaces.
Their applications span various domains, including in-car entertainment, home and office environments, and healthcare functions.
This paper presents a novel approach for the creation of personal
sound zones using a modified algorithm for multi-lobe control in
loudspeaker line array. The proposed method integrates a pressurematching beamforming algorithm with an innovative technique for
reducing side lobes, enhancing the precision and isolation of sound
zones.
The system was evaluated through simulations and experimental tests conducted in a semi-anechoic environment and a
large listening room. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of the
method in creating two separate sound zones.
