0:45 you can see TH-cam's compression in full effect. The "white noise" background is uncompressable so the quality of everything else drops - in that case it's Linus - so that the footage looks like 240p even though it's supposed to be 4K!
Damn, dude u r talking about 4k in 2016
@@mrsadcatto what's your point
@@Matticitt still now, even though 4k gaming, video playback is still rare
Do you mind telling why the background is uncompressible? 😁
@@re.liable it's random noise which cannot be optimised any further

Wait the Xbox One can kind of do that it can borrow RAM from the Cloud :o
does that count?

Or even worse, you are blocking the way of an ambulance or inadvertently running over a red light on a crossing railroad when the train is coming from an angle you can't see it approaching.
+DrSQUIRRELBOY12 Or to hear anything important on the road like an ambulance siren.
+DrSQUIRRELBOY12 Noise cancellation doesn't really work like that. It only works on relatively static noise but it isn't effective against sudden or loud noises.
Then maybe you should go when the light is green....
+DrSQUIRRELBOY12 Could just be programmed to not kill siren sounds.
wow the picture at 2:04 is kinda disturbing
One of the Best Ideas of SoundProofing is "SoundProof Curtains" it actually Block outside Noise coming from Windows. Check Here: livesoundproof.com/best-soundproof-curtains/
3:26 "Although many headphones with active noise control do offer solid sound quality"
Shows beats -_-

Not exactly correct, they have to be in anti-phase to completely cancel out the wave, not just out of phase but good video :)
+Alex S His semantics are completely correct. He says, "...if the peaks line up exactly with the troughs of the other then we say they are out of phase and the waves can cancel each other out completely." He describes the situation of peaks and troughs lining up which is indeed an out-of-phase position, with respect to one another, and in this situation they cancel each other out. The quick way to describe this would have been to say they are anti-phase but not everyone is going to know what that means. Even I didn't and I am one quarter away from a B.S. in Physics, but I am not sure why you have to call him out on semantics when you obviously know what he meant.
+Alex S Neeeeeeeeeeeeeerd!
He did say out of phase AND that the peaks and troughs of the anti-noise are aligned to the troughs and peaks of the noise, which is one way of describing anti-phase.

Is it me or does linus have yellow palms and other parts?
+Jānis Mazvērsītis I think it's because of strange color correction. TechQuickie videos are all over the place with color correction.
It might be the reflection of his chroma key screen (green screen, blue screen, etc)
Sound waves move in compression waves (forward-backward), not transverse waves (up-down) like light or water waves. Other than that the properties are similar enough for the analogy to work.
Speaking of this, Bose Quiet comfort is the best headphones I ever owned. I have been an avid "gaming" headphone shopper and none of them ever lasted as long as my Bose. I had this Bose for over 3 years now and it's still working and still comfortable to wear. The only downside to this is MIC feature on desktop does not work unless you have a splitter or attach a removable boom MIC like modmic. Otherwise, it was definitely worth $300. From now on, this is the only headphone I'll ever get.
Why isn't there software that does this? With good enough microphone(s) and speakers you could noise isolate your own room. With our own high end PC/mic/speakers we normally have anyway. All that's missing is software that would allow this. So, wheres this software?
Petar Stamenkovic Your PC is unable to do this because it is very difficult for your microphone to destroy sounds far away, you will still hear them before the PC is able to ‘cancel’ them out. You are in an open(ish) room with no passive isolation, and since your microphone also probably cannot hear high frequency sounds, (7-16kHz) you will still hear all that. However, since earpads are very good at canceling high frequency sounds, ANC headphones are a very good bet for silence.
It is very difficult to do active noise cancelling in a room because noise is coming from everywhere and the noise gets reflected from hard surfaces. The headphone works because the volume of the ear canal is small.
@@oniruddhoalam2039 nice comment. Tell them that the room is full of zones of constructive and destructive interference, all existing simultaneously. It will never be achieved for a room.
latency
at 0:50 of the video there is a high (Somthing) photo in the background and it is preventing all my devices including my phone to render the video. Linus! Take a note and use less high (Something uhh... White noise picture). Not all devices have a great graphics card to render that great of a picture. Oh and like i said i tested it on all my devices which is a total of 5 including my Chromecast for my tv. my internet is also fine since i get a good 70-80Mbps download and standard 10Mbps upload, there is very little traffic going on right now.
not sure if you are trolling or not
no way dude, he's definitely not trolling, the same thing is happening to me, i just cant load any further than 0:47 .
the videos are compressed so that you don't have to update every pixels but only the pixels that changed compared to the last frame.
white noise updates a lot of pixels at the same time
Just set your resolution to 1080 and above, at anything below 1080 it will pause. I believe its due to the compression algorithm, its youtube's fault.
alrighty that solves the issue! thanks!
linus is one of those youtubers for which I like the video first and then watch it.
Great video but Linus looks a bit yellow at times xD. Please fix this.
+God Gabe Their colourcorrection is poop, he mentioned in another video :) sorry for bad grammar i have cancer
Probably converting asain
He also looks yellow to me on an iPhone, weird.

I'm using my Xperia Z3 noise cancellation hear plug headphones and honestly I won't go to anything different, at least some new noise cancelling headphones. Looking forward to see more advanced consumer products with this feature, glad there was a video for this as in the future people will search more often about that :)
This would explain some pedestrians that aren't paying attention to that car that whizzes a few feet away from plastering them.
@5:33 Linus, you need that noise canceling speaker setup...
BOSE QuietComfort is lightweight, good sound quality and fairly small. I got the one of them, and i would recommend them
Thanks for sharing. I think the Military Radio Headset H-251A/U of Power-time is quite effective in noise cancelling as well.
I have a set of Bose noise cancelling headphones. I used to wear them to bed because my roommate was a snorer. I absolutely love them
Linus you depicted transverse waves as your diagram while sound waves are longitudinal waves, though I can't think of any ways to represent longitudinal waves effectively... So great job.
I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one who noticed that.
They are usually represented like that to make it easier to understand because holy crap trying to work it out using compressions in a wave would get confusing, like seriously, my brain does not need that shit.
Worth noting that some cars (such as the 2013 or newer Honda Accord) include active noise cancellation (or more accurately, reduction) directly from the factory.
I always love it when it's Linus everywhere :-)
Nice yellow hands
Sounds like the Techquickie set could use some active noise cancelling technology of its own.
I think it makes it simpler to understand the principle of how noise cancellation works through his explanation with transverse waves. The logic would still transfer over to longitudinal waves (the kind of wave which sound travels in).
Wow. I had no idea that there were microphones on the outside of them! I thought it just had really sound-proof material as the muffs.
LukeThePerson look at Peltors by 3M for examples.
Great Video any thoughts on the Golzer BANC-50? They seems to have great reviews on amazon
+Mike M. (Refill3D) They do have the active noise cancelling, so you could go with either the BANC-50 for $100 or the Bose for $300!
Teaching superposition to my year 13. What a coincidence! Thanks LMG.
Now we need a vid on some of the best bang for your buck noise canceling headphones
Love that Eurovision crack
This video was published on my birthday 5 years ago. Ah, those were much simpler times....
Interesting fact: Car companies like Audi (Others probably too, but i don't know about them) already use active noise cancellation. Some engines can shut down some of their cylinders to reduce mileage which leads to a "out of roundness" and therefor unpleasant noises. These then get cancelled out by sending antiphase-waves over the car's sound system. So it is the same principle like in your headphones only that the calculation of the right frequencies and phases gets far more complicated since the interior of a car is a three dimensional space.
I would recommend ASUS ROG Vulkan ANC gaming headset. Sounds good, These doesnt weight too much i quess, removable good sounding microphone, big earcups or whatever those are, good active noise cancelling for me i can just barely hear a tv from 3-4 meters away from me and the battery life is about an 2 weeks with 2 full batteries. If youre looking for anc headphones i really recommend these ones. Im using these myself just now :D
You should do the lynda.com commercial as fast as possible 😂😂
One thing... At 1:20 you said "_out of phase_", but actually to cancel each other two waves must be in _opposite phase_.
(Firstly, *superposition* basically means adding of waves.)
For two waves if peaks line up with other wave's peaks, they are *in-phase* and you have *constructive* superposition.
Any other case is being *out-of-phase*.
Special case of these is when peaks line up with other wave's valleys. They are in *opposite* phase or *anti-phase*, so you have *destructive* superposition. They cancel out.
_More_ info: Wikipedia: Phase(waves) (section Phase difference)
(*DISCLAMER*: Physics is only related to my profession and English not my native language. Some terms could be clumsy literal translations.)
The way he said noise at the beginning of the episode reminded me of the old DROID commercials
‘Bout time I heard a train passing by during a TechQuickie video.
But on the subject of noise-cancelling headphones, I got a pair, but to my utter dismay it failed to cancel the noise I was looking to tune out-that being loud-ass music and movies being played by people who are too inconsiderate to turn them down. And when the batteries in them died, it took me awhile to figure out how to replace them because they didn’t come with a manual. (Instead, I found a few courtesy cards… so no need to ask me about my Bose QuietComfort 2 acoustic noise cancelling headphones.)
Linus had too much fun coloring with his son's yellow markers.
big visual representation thing: although the description of waves works, representing it as a graphical 2d representation tends to breed inaccurate ideas about how it works: it's really just compression and decompression which could be best represented by something similar to the common Wi-Fi signal strength icon: multiple arcs moving away from the source
Something I wondered about but was too lazy to look it up. Thank you, thank you.
Some friends of mine seem to have some trouble with Bose NC headphones in that they not only just are heavy, but have such a poor (uneven) weight distribution, that they simply won't stay put on to of your head. The sound was bad too; I suppose it'd be worth considering aspects like that if you want to buy a pair of headphones. And one thing almost ALL manufacturers get (or, DO) wrong, is that they don't size the ear shells correctly. Commercially available headphones mostly are at most 54 x 41 millimeters. And that is, for the OVER-EAR type! Now that MAYBE may be big enough for unisex, one-size-fits-all OVER-EAR headphones in China, where almost all of them are made - as Chinese people are not the biggest in the world. I am talking unisex be cause headphones do not come in multiple sizes as to fit children, women or men, one does not get to choose out of small, medium, large or extra-large. And that is whilst the size of the ear cushions most likely is THE very most easy aspect a manufacturer faces. But instead of addressing that aspect and finding some kind of solution that would accommodate what undoubtedly amounts to what must be the largest group of potential customers worldwide (theoretically maybe inbetween one-quarter and a third, but in reality in relative terms an even bigger chunk, be cause "adult ""Western"" men" are the most likely to have the cash and the willingness to buy- 'Western men' as the largest common denominator within all those people with (somewhat) "bigger" ears (than those small measurements would allow for). Instead of trying to think this over and come with an answer, most brands refuse to spend ANY thought whatsoever on the subject of suitable dimensions for over-ear headphones, even though they of course would have no problem whatsoever finding appropriate data on the subject: it is not a secret what range of sizes the humanoid ear comes in. Indeed, most brands RATHER just make sure to stay absolutely silent on the subject, and just make sure NOT to mention anything on their packages, in their manuals, in their advertising or on their websites that might directly or indirectly refer to the fact that human ears come in specific sizes that might vary with the person, hopeful as they are with each (upcoming) purchase again, that the customer will forget to sirens sufficient attention to that subject until later.. hopefully, and often indeed MUCH later.. so much later in fact, that it would make returning the headphones difficult or impossible. Men and probably even most adults anyway, will only find their headphones in fact are hurtful to the ears when they happen to wear them for longer periods of time, ranging from several hours to full days' lengths. All in all this has become quite a story with some length to it; wanted to get my thought on this out there anyway and I hope that something will change!
my youtube client (chrome) stops on the 0:49 even at 240p (10Mbit download) but audio goes on.. that white noise is real bandwidth killer, hope they would know bette not to use that kind of images in background -> as it takes a lot bandwidth.. damn, could have zoomed 200-400% the background to get similar effect without fuskin up ppls videostream..
My video just crashed at that point on chrome with no audio
Does Linus' got hepatitis? why is he so yellow?? Is he becoming a Simpson??
Yup
I think your monitor is dying.
+Cubly he does look more yellow, although i do need a new monitor he is valid since i know my monitor has a quite cool color temperature and is mostly bluish .
it's because of bad lighting most likely. that and it's the trains fault.
+Cubly Nope, the videos colour correction is shit.
I dont get it the video looks just like the others in my phone
Destructive interference basically.. It detects ambient noise and produces sound waves in anti-phase to it. Are there any significant advantages over passive noise cancelling with silicone buds though?
Welcome from Austria. Nice vid as allways.
Can I put these devices in public with giant speakers to remove the sound of people talking, in fact just everything? How cool would it be to just make everything completely silent?
15 or 20 years ago a car maker I think it was Lotus made a noise cancelling system for your car, you could make any car even a honda sound like a F1 v12, v10 or v8 inside your car,
You should get noise cancelling speakers around the new office for that train =P
LinusPhysicsTips 1:07 - 1:43
just realized that I studied this same thing as the superposition principle in physics
Very interesting stuff! Thanks Linus!
Beats studio3 have 22 hrs of use w/ noise canceling and 40 without
you made a video noise cancellation now you must do noise isolation
do a special episode on Radio communications.

My guess is that they probably inverse the recorded phase of outside noise, but would there not be a little bit of delay? (haven't watched yet)
Sadly it still can't silence the voices inside my head.
Idea for a techquickie.
Please do a video on white noise, pink noise and brown noise?
Can you make a video explaining how Fitness Trackers really work..?
Bose Quiet comfort 250 are amazing they're the only headphones I use, not usable without the battery, battery lasts around a month
What would happen if there was a feedback loop with a noise cancelling speaker, would it cancel the cancelation therefore making a louder sound?
2:30 I use that exact sound card in my Windows XP rig. Soundblaster Live! from like 1998.
oh man I'd love to cancel any noise coming to my room, if I got it right it means all I need is a bunch of external microphones surrounding my room and some software that cancels out anything from the outside, that would be a dream...
So to cancel 100dB noise, you need to create 100dB noise? Is it dangerous for ears (considering that speakers work ony in certain gap of frequencies), or they both cancel completelly?
chroma key green is reflecting into his skin. either too much light, or the material is too reflexive.
That Lynda.com ad went so bad, Lynda sold it LinkedIn
linus's obsession with removing the noise of a PC is legendary
Sony and their Latest Xperia Line up have Noise Cancelling Technology and Noise Cancelling Headphones :)
No mention of the fact that they reduce bass much more than they do other frequencies. In fact, the lower the frequency, the better they work.
I'm liking the echoing of his voice, haha. I can tell he is in a big room
What effect does noise cancelling have on my ear drums? Can my ears still get damaged from this "antinoise?" I know I would not "hear" any noise but won't there still be some effect on my ears?
Maybe in your next video you could address this confusing port I see on some of my older graphics cards called S-video.Has it ever been used on anything? is it like the Firewire of video output, where it is only ever used outside of the consumer market for purely professional purposes? What the heck is S-video?
One question no one was able to answer: say I want to use active cancellation so I can listen to my music at low volume and take care of my ears. Does this cancellation physically destroy noise or is the resulting sound pressure actually higher except I can't listen to it?
I am fine with noise reaching to my ears, I just want to prevent noise surrounding me from reaching to the other side of the phone call or online call. Is this the same feature?
i got some targus headphones whit noise cancellation , it isnt that great , but hey , 18 dollars for a pair of headphones whit 40 mm drivers , synthetic leather [i believe it´s] and some softer padding on the headband , and they also come whit removable audio jack so i can have an audio cable whenever , in line mic , volume control and a dedicated button for calls , and even tough they are made of plastic they are pretty darn bendable , i would say they most bendable headphones i´ve ever owned [ the noise cancellation works from 100hz to 500hz ] what do you guys think ?
well damn why did everyone miss that office space reference
xperia Z3 and Z5 have in built noise cancelation if you use headphones with 5 contacts (sometimes they are supplied with the phone), you could review those, someone must have one of those phones in the company, right?
So since the sound waves have high frequency, wouldnt moving the speakers by like a milimeter change it from cancelling out sound to possibly doubling it?
When did Linus become a Minon? 😅
Hey Linus, Can you do a video of what are the materials of all of our monster pc parts made of such as Intel and AMD CPUs, Nvidia GPUs and Mobos and how do they affect our enviorment
please make a video on Quantum computers....& can they be used in smartphones in near/far future...
go get Sennheiser Momentum m2. Great Sound, multiple input choices (usb, bluetooth and jack) excellent noise guard, very comfortable and you can turn of noise guard while you're hearing through cable. BTW they last about 20 Hours. End of story.
Hey Linus, from where do you get the pictures in your videos??
Which is the best earphones or way to stop sound leakage? Or if noise cancelling equals sound leakage
@James R fuck yeah! I was right. Physics man!
Kind of like isolating the vocals of a song, using the official instrumental.
Soooo if you direct those waves into someone's mouth, who lets say is shouting for help if they are kidnapped or something, theoretically you could just mute that person and no one would hear him.?
It's not as dramatically as you make it sound. It just adds up. While resonance would be another thing completely.
That lad spread at 0:00!
I like Bose, but what are some other good companies @techquickie :)
I hope that was an Office Space reference at 0:11
Daam those arms - gone green like hulk
Saw a PC using this exact technology not too long ago. (And damn it was loud without the "Anti Noise")
nice video linus
I already knew how they worked but still enjoyed this video. thanks Linus. I have the Bose quietcomfort 25 special edition black headphones which have active noise cancelling. they use a triple a battery for noise cancelling but work without needing one (just no noise cancelling without it)
Hmmmyeeeaaahh. If you could have that Office Space reference on my desk by tomorrow, that would be great.
2:06 .... this will haunt me forever!!
why aren't transferspeeds stable? like download and copying to a USB
wait.. noise cancellation in cars? Would they also block honking and sirens of police cars, fire trucks and ambulances?
hope not
Hey i actually have that soundcard from 2:30 in my PC.
Its a Sound blaster live 5.1 SPDIF.
My anc headphones play whitenoise in the background but they also are supposed to cancel other sounds. Are they messed up becuase they are playing whitenoise? They block out all low noises but not high sounds. They are the Sony Xb950n1. I just got them today.
