The development of personal sound zone systems in recent years show great potential for low-frequency noise control outside of noisy spaces. These approaches show promising applications to manage noise pollution arising from concerts in large venues or urban festivals. However, most of the literature considered that the created sound zones would exist in the same room or acoustic space as the noise source. This premise hence discards all setups where the disturbances would occur outside of concert venues (e.g in neighboring houses). This paper presents a first experimental study of the behavior of sound zone methods for indoor sound zones; outdoor noise sources. These initial results present a good efficiency of these methods in this edge case, opening new use cases for these approaches.
