2. Active noise control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_noise_control

   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. The concept was first developed in the late 1930s; later developmental work that began in the 1950s eventually resulted in ...

3. Health effects from noise - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_from_noise

   Elevated workplace or environmental noise can cause hearing impairment, tinnitus, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, annoyance, and sleep disturbance. [3] [4] Changes in the immune system and birth defects have been also attributed to noise exposure. [5] Although age-related health effects ( presbycusis) occur naturally with age, [6] in many ...

4. Noise-canceling microphone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-canceling_microphone

   In a noisy environment, both microphones receive noise at a similar level, but the primary mic receives the desired sounds more strongly. Thus if one signal is subtracted from the other (in the simplest sense, by connecting the microphones out of phase) much of the noise is canceled while the desired sound is retained.

5. Dolby noise-reduction system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolby_noise-reduction_system

   A Dolby noise-reduction system, or Dolby NR, is one of a series of noise reduction systems developed by Dolby Laboratories for use in analog audio tape recording. The first was Dolby A, a professional broadband noise reduction system for recording studios in 1965, but the best-known is Dolby B (introduced in 1968), a sliding band system for the consumer market, which helped make high fidelity ...

6. Microwave auditory effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_auditory_effect

   The microwave auditory effect, also known as the microwave hearing effect or the Frey effect, consists of the human perception of sounds induced by pulsed or modulated radio frequencies. The perceived sounds are generated directly inside the human head without the need of any receiving electronic device. The effect was first reported by persons ...

7. Noise-cancelling headphones - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-cancelling_headphones

   Noise-cancelling headphones often combine sound isolation with ANC to maximize the sound reduction across the frequency spectrum. Noise cancellation can also be used without sound isolation to make wanted sounds (such as voices) easier to hear. Noise cancellation to eliminate ambient noise is never passive because of the circuitry required, so ...
