It can block background noise for both input and output devices.
AMD PowerNow! is AMD's dynamic frequency scaling and power saving technology for laptop processors. The CPU 's clock speed and VCore are automatically decreased when the computer is under low load or idle, to save battery power, reduce heat and noise .
AMD PowerPlay is also implemented into ATI/AMD chipsets which integrated graphics and into AMD's Imageon handheld chipset, that was sold to Qualcomm in 2008. Besides the desirable goal to reduce energy consumption, AMD PowerPlay helps to lower the noise levels created by the cooling in desktop computers and extend battery life in mobile devices.

Microsoft is doing something about annoying background sounds by introducing noise suppression to party chat in the latest Xbox update.
AMD Turbo Core a.k.a. AMD Core Performance Boost (CPB) is a dynamic frequency scaling technology implemented by AMD that allows the processor to dynamically adjust and control the processor operating frequency in certain versions of its processors which allows for increased performance when needed while maintaining lower power and thermal parameters during normal operation.
