If I need to not hear other people, slotting in my earbuds with music up loud enough to drone them out but not so loud that its distracting to others is my solution. I was simply stating that noise cancelling technology in general will no be able to compensate with voice nearly as well as repetitive noise at the same tone and frequency. | |
