    Won’t work sadly, the “counter sound” can’t be in phase in multiple locations because of delay and reflections. Headphones can do ANC because the ear is basically a single point so the mic can pick up exactly what you’re about to hear and then compensate.

    Using a speaker like that would just create double the leafblower noise.

      How I wish active noise cancellation was a thing for rooms rather than just headphones.

      This would be a game changer for people in multi-family housing.
