Noise cancellation in the car You may have experienced that some cars are quieter than others - this is because of the special attention paid to insulating materials (special laminated glass for example). However, there's only so much that passive noise isolation can accomplish inside the complicated acoustics of the car. That's why luxury carmakers have been implementing active noise cancellation for a quieter cabin. The same active noise cancelling technologies used in headphones can be easily implemented in a car. See image for details. How it works Simply put, active noise cancellation works by 'listening' to unwanted ambient sounds, and then producing a s
