1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:07,080
noise if you're at like a big time gaming convention a concert or a

2
00:00:04,839 --> 00:00:12,200
sporting event it might be part of the experience but the incessant sound of a

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:16,760
jet engine when you're on a plane or that annoying coworker in the next

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:22,039
cubicle who won't shut up about the missing stapler can drive you out of

5
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:28,720
your mind so how do we control unwanted environmental noise without strapping

6
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:30,960
pillows to our heads enter active noise

7
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:35,520
control a technology for reducing irritating background noise that most

8
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:40,039
often appears in the consumer Market as noise cancelling headphones so how do

9
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:45,559
they work well surprisingly they actually block noise with um more noise

10
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:50,120
wait what how the heck does that work lonus are you talking about white noise

11
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:54,440
or something actually not exactly although it might intuitively seem like

12
00:00:52,559 --> 00:00:58,359
canceling out noise with other noise doesn't make any sense the technology

13
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:02,480
relies on what's actually a pretty straightforward principle of physics

14
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:07,280
even if you slept through your classes as you probably know regardless of what

15
00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:12,840
kind of student you were sound travels in waves and waves have Peaks and

16
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:17,720
troughs or valleys like you'd see if you were hanging out at the beach if two

17
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:22,799
waves combine they create a resulting wave that is basically the sum of the

18
00:01:19,759 --> 00:01:25,640
original two so if you have two waves

19
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:31,159
that meet so that the peaks of one wave end up exactly with the peaks of another

20
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:36,320
it'll actually dramatically increase the amplitude on the other hand if the Peaks

21
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:41,799
line up exactly with the troughs of the other then we say they are out of faves

22
00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:46,000
and the waves can cancel each other out completely so noise cancelling

23
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:51,560
headphones use this principle by listening to the background noise with a

24
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:54,360
dedicated microphone or microphones and

25
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:59,439
producing outof phase sound or anti-noise that literally destroys

26
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,399
incoming soundwaves before they reach your ear

27
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:06,159
combine this with special noise absorbing material built into the

28
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:10,920
headphone cups in some models and you've got some pretty serious sound isolation

29
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:16,000
so if you want to pick up a pair of noise cancelling cans to help you focus

30
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:20,360
at work or just block out the screaming kid that lives above you what should you

31
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:24,720
consider before forking over your cash to Bose or whoever else well one of the

32
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:29,519
biggest concerns with this kind of headphone is battery life unlike regular

33
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:34,080
headphones which usually just run off the power provided by your PC or

34
00:02:31,959 --> 00:02:38,519
smartphone or whatever else has a headphone jack headphones with active

35
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:42,239
noise control need a separate power source usually a battery so pay

36
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:47,480
attention for this when you're looking through reviews especially as some

37
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:49,800
models won't mention at all how long it

38
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:54,159
takes for the battery to die and whether you can continue to use them when

39
00:02:51,879 --> 00:02:57,840
they're not powered you should also consider how comfortable your new noise

40
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:03,120
cancelling headphones will be because the extra electronics needed to mask

41
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:05,680
outside sound does add extra weight and

42
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:10,519
bulk and a poorly designed pair of heavy phones may not be comfortable for

43
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:17,239
extended use and then finally for you audio files out there don't expect the

44
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:19,200
same kind of expansive Sound Stage as

45
00:03:17,239 --> 00:03:23,879
you would have expected from an open-backed headphone as noise

46
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:29,280
cancelling sets are closed to keep out as much Ambient sound as possible still

47
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:33,920
though many headphones with active noise control do offer solid sound quality

48
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:37,519
good thing too as noise cancelling headphones do tend to be more expensive

49
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:41,000
than their passive counterparts so don't be completely put off with it even if

50
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:46,000
it's not the kind of thing you would sit in your easy chair and listen to but

51
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:49,799
then what if you don't want to have to wear headphones to block out distracting

52
00:03:47,799 --> 00:03:54,280
sounds a number of companies are actually now making speakers that

53
00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:59,439
feature the same active noise control system imagine that a speaker embedded

54
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:04,480
in your car's headrest to drown out road noise we've even seen large scale noise

55
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:09,480
cancellation deployed at the Eurovision song contest to drown out crowds booing

56
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:13,720
performers based on what country they're from an interesting application for sure

57
00:04:11,799 --> 00:04:18,479
but I wouldn't expect to see it at your local football stadium anytime soon

58
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:22,880
speaking of things you won't find at a stadium anytime soon not that you would

59
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:27,560
expect to find an online learning program at a stadium linda.com where you

60
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,240
