Reply to comment by Professional-Ad3441 in Eli5 How exactly does Noise cancellation work? That too in such small airbuds by Professional-Ad3441

think of waves in a bathtub or pool, or even an ocean. the waves are highly complex, and you may not be able to cancel them all perfectly, but if you can just knock down the peaks and troughs, you'll make things much smoother.

Throw in some white noise and you can drown out the rest.
