Claim Text:
1. An active vibration noise control device for canceling a vibration noise by making plural speakers output control sounds, comprising: a basic signal generating unit which generates a basic signal based on a vibration noise frequency generated by a vibration noise source; plural adaptive notch filters which generate control signals provided to each of the plural speakers by applying filter coefficients to the basic signal, in order to make the plural speakers generate the control sounds so that the vibration noise generated by the vibration noise source is canceled; a microphone which detects a cancellation error between the vibration noise and the control sound, and outputs an error signal; a reference signal generating unit which generates a reference signal from the basic signal based on transfer functions from the plural speakers to the microphone; plural filter coefficient updating units which update the filter coefficients used by each of the plural adaptive notch filters based on the error signal and the reference signal so as to minimize the error signal; a dip band determining unit which determines a dip band in which a transfer characteristic from the speaker to the microphone has a dip, based on amplitude characteristics of an output sound from the speaker; a storage unit which stores the dip band determined by the dip band determining unit; and a step-size parameter changing unit which changes a step-size parameter used for updating the filter coefficient of one or more filter coefficient updating units in the plural filter coefficient updating units, wherein, when the vibration noise frequency is in the dip band stored in the storage unit, the step-size parameter changing unit changes the step-size parameter to a value smaller than a basic step-size parameter used when the vibration noise frequency is not in the dip band.
