Active noise-cancelling headphones use a microphone, amplifier, and speaker to pick up, amplify, and play ambient noise in phase-reversed form; this to some extent cancels out unwanted noise from the environment without affecting the desired sound source, which is not picked up and reversed by the microphone. They require a power source ...
The wavelength in air of sinusoidal noise at approximately 800 Hz is double the distance of the average person's left ear to the right ear; [1] such a noise coming directly from the front will be easily reduced by an active system but coming from the side will tend to cancel at one ear while being reinforced at the other, making the noise ...
Simplified graphical depiction of active noise reduction. To cancel the lower-frequency portions of the noise, noise-cancelling headphones use active noise control or ANC.A microphone captures the targeted ambient sounds, and a small amplifier generates sound waves that are exactly out of phase with the undesired sounds.
Common-mode coupling: noise appears in phase (in the same direction) on two conductors. Differential-mode coupling: noise appears out of phase (in opposite directions) on two conductors. Inductive coupling occurs where the source and victim are separated by a short distance (typically less than a wavelength ).

The human brain evolved to recognize patterns, and if a person listens to enough noise the brain will detect words, even when there is no intelligent source for them. [48] [49] Expectation also plays an important part in making people believe they are hearing voices in random noise. [50] Apophenia is related to, but distinct from pareidolia. [51]
The sudden absence of background noise gives the near-end user the impression that the line has gone dead. In response to this, Bell Labs developed echo canceler theory in the early 1960s, [ 4 ] [ 5 ] which then resulted in laboratory echo cancelers in the late 1960s and commercial echo cancelers in the 1980s.

"There's a strange noise coming through the speaker," Williams said "I don't know what's making it," he later added. The conversation was uploaded by a NASA Space Flight forum member on Saturday, ...
