Tech news: Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is designed to cancel out some components of ambient sound. The critical word here is active since the technology does not just try and stop the sound.

Instead, it listens to the noises via the headset's microphones and creates a sound wave that cancels the actual sound. The sound is effectively lowered this way.

In the end, you listen to less of the direct noise, and with full and active noise cancellation, you can listen to none. Since the microphones can catch up and undo these frequencies, it works better with steady sounds.
