noise-cancel
Block ambient sound
Noise-cancel describes technology that reduces or eliminates unwanted ambient sound, typically in headphones or earbuds.
The device detects external noise and generates opposing sound waves to neutralize it: I can't hear you—my noise-canceling headphones are on.
The technology allows listeners to focus on audio content or enjoy quiet in noisy environments like airplanes or offices.
