Noise-cancelling technology

Noise-cancelling technology uses microphones to pick up ambient sounds, then generates sound waves that are the exact opposite (anti-phase) to those noises. When these anti-phase sound waves meet the original sounds, they cancel each other out through a process called destructive interference, significantly reducing background noise. This technology is often found in headphones to create a quieter listening experience, especially in noisy environments like airplanes or busy streets. It enhances clarity and comfort by minimizing unwanted sounds without blocking out all external audio completely.
