  2. Noise-canceling microphone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-canceling_microphone

    The internal electronic circuitry of an active noise-canceling mic attempts to subtract noise signal from the primary microphone. The circuit may employ passive or active noise canceling techniques to filter out the noise, producing an output signal that has a lower noise floor and a higher signal-to-noise ratio .

  3. Mains hum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_hum

    Mains hum, electric hum, cycle hum, or power line hum is a sound associated with alternating current which is twice the frequency of the mains electricity.The fundamental frequency of this sound is usually double that of fundamental 50/60 Hz, i.e., 100/120 Hz, depending on the local power-line frequency.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-cancelling_headphones

    Simplified graphical depiction of active noise reduction. To cancel the lower-frequency portions of the noise, noise-cancelling headphones use active noise control.A microphone captures the targeted ambient sounds, and a small amplifier generates sound waves that are exactly out of phase with the undesired sounds.

  5. Active noise control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_noise_control

    Graphical depiction of active noise reduction. Active noise control (ANC), also known as noise cancellation (NC), or active noise reduction (ANR), is a method for reducing unwanted sound by the addition of a second sound specifically designed to cancel the first.

    Speak across the microphone or to the side of it, rather than directly into it, to avoid pops and breath noise. A distance of several centimeters or inches away from the microphone is recommended. A pop shield may also be used to minimize hard consonants, and a de-essing processor may be used to remove murmured voices. It is possible to create ...

    An Alesis Micro Gate noise gate. A noise gate or simply gate is an electronic device or software that is used to control the volume of an audio signal.Comparable to a limiter, which attenuates signals above a threshold, such as loud attacks from the start of musical notes, noise gates attenuate signals that register below the threshold.

    It consisted of a microphone in one location and a remote listening post with a speaker that could also be recorded using a phonograph. While also marketed as a device that allowed broadcasting of sounds, or dictating text from one room to a typist in another, it was used in several criminal investigations.
