It was theoretically functional, however there wasn\u2019t any proper equipment to detect, process and generate sound. Paul Lueg couldn\u2019t implement this to a further phase.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>1950\u2019s<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Later in 1950s, Dr. Lawrence Jerome Fogel took over and he was one of the pioneers in evolutionary computation and human factors analysis research. Fogel developed systems and submitted <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/patents.google.com\/patent\/US2966549\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">patents<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on active noise cancellation in the field of aviation (helicopters to be exact). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This system was designed to reduce noise for the pilot in the cockpit area and help make the communication easier. Fogel was considered to be the inventor of active noise cancellation and he created one of the first noise cancelling headphones systems. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Around the same time the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/afresearchlab.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Air Force Research Laboratory<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (AFRL) had an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.dtic.mil\/dtic\/tr\/fulltext\/u2\/a539451.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">acoustics research program<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that was focusing on hearing conservation and protection, communicating speech, measuring noise and community noise modeling. While working on active and passive hearing protection technologies, AFRL also had an ANR headset project in between 1956 and 1957.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_863\" style=\"width: 296px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-863\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-863\" src=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/noise-cancelling-headphones.png\" alt=\"noise cancelling headphones\" width=\"286\" height=\"187\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-863\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Auditory and Acoustic Research &amp;<br \/>Development at Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Willard Meeker was the leader of the project and introduced the concept of earmuffs and earplugs as passive hearing protectors which was later developed by Dr. Charles Nixon. These passive hearing protectors were enhanced with Meeker\u2019s newly designed active noise control model. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The circumaural earmuffs had 50-500 Hz bandwidth and 20 dB maximum attenuation.

This buddy was enhanced with a built-in microphone in each earmuff, which detect the external sound sooner than it reaches the human ears. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, noise-canceling circuitry (which is also in the earmuff) detects the microphone input and measures the frequency and amplitude of the soundwave to create an opposing soundwave. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Later the two sound waves are combined together along with destructive interference signal and the anti-sound removes the noise without affecting the normal sound. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>1980\u2019s<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was the ultimate time when Bose headphones passed a real test in 1986 by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dick_Rutan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dick Rutan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jeana_Yeager\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jeana Yeager<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Imagine how difficult would it be to fly in the air for that long without noise cancelling headphones!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Either way, Bose wasn\u2019t the only headphone producing company to work on noise cancelling headphones. Another major Germany-based headphone producing company called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en-us.sennheiser.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sennheiser<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> worked on active noise reduction in headphones. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They were designed to help pilots of the largest German airline Lufthansa protect themselves from low-frequency noises. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They presented the first certified (FAA-TSO) active noise cancelling pilot headset by the name of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en-de.sennheiser.com\/news-sennheisers-noisegard-active-noise-reduction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LHM 45 NoiseGard<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 1987. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The end.
