(54) Title: WINDOW WITH NOISE MANAGEMENT AND RELATED METHODS (57) : A window system, a method of managing noise and a method of installing a noise management system on a window are provided. The window system includes a ventilation channel and a noise management system in or adjacent the ventilation channel. The noise management sys- tem includes a multi-cell transparent electroactive film speaker and a con- trol unit connected to the multi-cell transparent electroactive film speaker. 104 The multi-cell transparent electroactive film speaker includes a plurality of individually operable electroactive cells. Each cell includes a respective se- ries of resonance frequencies such that the multi-cell transparent electroac- tive film speaker is capable of multiple series of resonance frequencies. The control unit is configured to actively detect an incident noise entering the ventilation channel and control at least one cell of the multi-cell transpar- ent electroactive film speaker to generate a corresponding counter noise to substantially cancel the incident noise.
