Frequencies covered by noise cancellation
I've got a pair of Sony MDR-NC6 noise-canceling headphones. They do a
great job of removing the low, rumbling sounds, like the office copier or the continuous roar on a plane. On the other hand, on a plane, they do virtually nothing about the higher-frequency airplane sounds (hissing, whining), and they add their own hiss. I asked someone selling expensive Bose headphones at Denver Airport about whether their phones cover the higher frequency ranges, but he turned out not to be informed on such a technical topic. Is this issue with my Sony phones normal--are only the lower frequencies targeted by today's noise-canceling products? Or are there products that I can rely on to cancel a wider range of frequencies and, ideally don't introduce significant noise of their own? |
