A noise cancellation system for a vehicle comprising: at least one first microphone array (124, 710) having at least two microphones (710a, 710b) mounted to a first headrest (714, 814) and spaced apart in a longitudinal direction, wherein a distance separating the two microphones (710a, 710b) is used to create at least a first listening zone and a second listening zone, wherein the second listening zone is oriented in the longitudinal direction relative to the first listening zone; and a digital signal processor programmed to: receive microphone signals indicative of sound from the at least one first microphone array (124, 710); identify whether the sound is received from the first listening zone or the second listening zone based on the microphone signals by comparing the microphone signals from the two microphones (710a, 710b) and localizing a direction of the sound from either the first listening zone or the second listening zone based on a time difference of arrival of the microphone signals at each of the two microphones (710a, 710b); transmit the microphone signals in case of the localizing the direction of the sound from the first listening zone; and suppress or cancel the microphone signals in case of the localizing the direction of the sound from the second listening zone. at least one first microphone array (124, 710) having at least two microphones (710a, 710b) mounted to a first headrest (714, 814) and spaced apart in a longitudinal direction, wherein a distance separating the two microphones (710a, 710b) is used to create at least a first listening zone and a second listening zone, wherein the second listening zone is oriented in the longitudinal direction relative to the first listening zone; and a digital signal processor programmed to: receive microphone signals indicative of sound from the at least one first microphone array (124, 710); identify whether the sound is received from the first listening zone or the second listening zone based on the microphone signals by comparing the microphone signals from the two microphones (710a, 710b) and localizing a direction of the sound from either the first listening zone or the second listening zone based on a time difference of arrival of the microphone signals at each of the two microphones (710a, 710b); transmit the microphone signals in case of the localizing the direction of the sound from the first listening zone; and suppress or cancel the microphone signals in case of the localizing the direction of the sound from the second listening zone. receive microphone signals indicative of sound from the at least one first microphone array (124, 710); identify whether the sound is received from the first listening zone or the second listening zone based on the microphone signals by comparing the microphone signals from the two microphones (710a, 710b) and localizing a direction of the sound from either the first listening zone or the second listening zone based on a time difference of arrival of the microphone signals at each of the two microphones (710a, 710b); transmit the microphone signals in case of the localizing the direction of the sound from the first listening zone; and suppress or cancel the microphone signals in case of the localizing the direction of the sound from the second listening zone.
