BUT, it works best with predictable noises, from fixed locations, and most importantly, for defined areas of reception. If you think of the complexity of wave interference patterns from the proverbial "stone in a pond", once the waves start to echo off the walls etc, this should not surprise you; now add in that sound waves have different wavelengths (pitch), and that the attenuation of sound in air is somewhat wavelength dependant - more complex still; now look back to the interference pattern from the stone in your pond - see the fact that the anti-nodes (quiet places) are adjacent to nodes (places of *increased* noise). So, for arbitrary noise levels, you can use "anti-noise" to generate some areas that are quiet for some frequencies, but at the cost of other, nearby, areas having increased noise at the same frequencies. Not a perfect solution, but useful for some circumstances. -- Aidan Karley, Geologist, "You are in a maze of twisty little presentation styles, all [different | alike]."

Sure. I saw a scheme. It's basically stereo ampfilier with invertor at
the input and adjustable gain for each channel. The background noise is
sampled by separate microphones on the headset, the signal inverted,
ampfilied and the result is SILENCE! :) Easy.
