How Noise Cancelling Works on AirPods Pro
Noise cancellation is part of an AirPods Pro feature called Noise Control. Noise Control comes in two flavors: Noise Cancellation and Transparency. They both make your listening experience better by filtering out background noise. It also means you can listen at a lower volume and reduce the possibility of hearing damage. Noise Control uses the AirPods’ built-in microphone to detect ambient sound levels and uses software to filter those sounds. Transparency Mode allows some sounds through, such as voices, with the idea that you’ll still want to hear those. Noise Cancellation is a little different. It blocks out as much sound as possible, giving the sense of being enveloped in what you’re listening to and drastically lowering the noise level of everything around you.
