Passive sound mitigation techniques have garnered attention whether for absorption, isolation, reverberation or new wave phenomena observation. In parallel, a wide range of research has been devoted to active control strategies, which complement passive techniques, particularly for low-frequency. We review the main control techniques related with airborne acoustic wave in the audible regime, emphasizing electrodynamic loudspeakers and piezo-diaphragms, and their applications. We conclude by discussing perspectives in this evolving field.
