noise canceling
Mutes ambient audio
Noise canceling describes technology that reduces unwanted ambient sound, typically in headphones or earbuds.
Active noise canceling uses microphones to detect external sound and generates opposing sound waves to neutralize it: I can't fly without my noise-canceling headphones.
Passive noise canceling simply blocks sound through physical barriers like ear cushions or tight seals.
