Local active sound control systems provide useful reductions in noise within a zone of quiet which only extends to about one tenth of an acoustic wavelength. If active control is required above a few hundred hertz, this generally limits the movement of a listener to unrealistically small changes in head position. We describe a local active sound control system using a fixed array of monitoring microphones, in which the pressures at the ear positions are estimated from these microphone signals using head position information from an optical head tracker. These signals are then actively controlled to give robust attenuation at the ear positions, even as the listener moves their head. Feedforward control provides selective attenuation of noise and broadband attenuation of around 20 dB is measured up to excitation frequencies of 1 kHz under favourable conditions, with head tracking achieved in a few seconds. The active control performance is thus comparable with that achieved with active headphones, but without the listener having anything attached to their head.
