Antisound

« Back to Glossary Index

Antisound refers to a sound signal that has the same amplitude but opposite phase compared to an unwanted sound signal. When these two signals are superimposed (combined), they interfere destructively, effectively canceling each other out. This concept is utilized in noise-canceling technologies to reduce or eliminate unwanted ambient sounds, enhancing the quality of audio experiences in various applications such as headphones, microphones, and acoustic treatments.
