Noise-canceling technology helps reduce or block unwanted sounds using the science of sound waves.
Sound travels in waves made up of compressions and rarefactions through a medium.
Active noise-canceling devices, such as certain headphones, listen to outside noise and then generate a new sound wave that is opposite to it.
