The AirPods Pro&#8217;s noise cancellation technology prevents outside noise from interfering with the music you&#8217;re listening to on the wearable gadget. Toggle the phone&#8217;s noise cancellation on or off.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While using AirPods or any third-party headphones to make calls on the iPhone, users can suppress the unwanted surround sounds using the iOS 15 Ambient Noise Reduction feature. If noise is needed for distraction, but music is too loud, the iPhone can offer <a href=\"https:\/\/mashable.com\/article\/how-to-turn-on-background-sounds-ios-15\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mashable.com\/article\/how-to-turn-on-background-sounds-ios-15\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">background noise<\/a> help, with iOS 15. Background Sounds is located next to things like Focus and Trends, within Apples suite of Health &amp; Wellness features, and it is a perfect solution for those days where you need a little background noise to help focus or unwind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The feature is a bit buried away in your iPhones settings, but after completing initial configuration, you can also add the function to the Control Center for easy access. The feature is a new one that came with the latest software update, so be sure to have iOS 15 on board before trying to configure it. The feature allows iOS 15 users to choose from six sounds (Balanced noise, Bright noise, Dark noise, Ocean, Rain, and Stream) that will help drown out any distracting ambient noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apples Accessibility Noise Cancellation feature is designed to reduce environmental noise during telephone calls if you are holding the receiver in front of your ear, a feature that may help to make calls easier to hear. While phone noise cancellation does reduce ambient noise when the user is talking directly to the smartphone over voice calls, not having it could cause an iPhone to pick up unnecessary noise in the background, leading to a worse voice experience when making calls. It was never available to users of iPhone 13, who are now waiting months for Apple to fix this. The feature can be turned on in Settings &gt; Accessibility &gt; Audio\/Visual &gt; Phone Noise Cancellation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While one might have expected noise cancellation to also be available to iPhone 13 users, a Reddit post (via 9to5Mac) by a Redditor by the name ofname noted that the toggle button for the feature (found in the iPhone 12 and older models in Reddit is user name) does not appear in the iPhone 13 row. Questions regarding Apples Accessibility Noise Cancellation feature surfaced on Reddit and Apples support pages soon after the iPhone 13 line went on sale, with readers noticing it was no longer available in the Accessibility page. While Apple did indeed add noise cancellation to FaceTime calls with a feature known as Voice Isolation this year, it does not work on normal, daily cell calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-background\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>iPhone Models With Noise Cancellation<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>iPhone Models Without Noise Cancellation<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">iPhone 12<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">iPhone 13<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">iPhone X<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">iPhone 13 Plus<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">iPhone XR<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">iPhone 14<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">iPhone 8 <\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">iPhone 14 Pro Max<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">iPhone Models With Noise Cancellation And iPhone Models Without Noise Cancellation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple did, however, add the Noise Isolation feature this year, which is designed to separate a users voice from the sounds in the background. Interestingly, iOS 15 introduced the Voice Isolation feature, which filters or minimizes such ambient noise, thereby making it easier for a user to concentrate on just their conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FaceTime usually provides pretty crisp-sounding calls, but voice isolation makes calls even crisper. When you are making calls, the microphone in your device <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/how-to\/use-voice-isolation\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/how-to\/use-voice-isolation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">typically picks<\/a> up a wide variety of sounds from your surroundings, but with either of these features, machines learn to discriminate between those sounds, blocking out any ambient noise, and prioritizing your voice to make sure that it comes out clear. It is like the way AirPods Pro filters out ambient noise to make listening easier, and Voice Isolation does exactly the same thing to ensure that your voice comes across crisper and clearer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>If you&#8217;re interested in <a href=\"https:\/\/howtoitech.com\/how-to-lock-facebook-profile-iphone\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"841\">How To Lock Facebook Profile Iphone<\/a>, take a look at my other article<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Voice Isolation Mode is a useful feature of iOS 15, which blocks background noise while making a FaceTime call. With iOS 15, Apple is trying to address left-field issues, offering Voice Isolation mic mode for FaceTime, so that your voice stands out from background noise. If both parties disable the cameras while in FaceTime video calls, the audio mode continues to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is worth pointing out, however, that this functionality is not available for normal, not FaceTime, audio calls. A few weeks back, 9to5Mac reported on a growing complaint among iPhone 13 users that there is no audio-cancellation function available to phone calls via the Accessibility settings, which was available on all prior iPhones, but is absent on the newer model. Apples iPhone models from the fifth through 12th generation came with noise-canceling features, allowing users to lower the environmental noise in a phone call by holding the receiver closer to their ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How To Remove Background Noise On iOS 15 With Voice Memos\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BZeJINGT8j0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Watch this video to learn about removing Background noise from iOS 15<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple added Ambient Sound to help users to drown out external noises that they encounter in everyday life, helping them eliminate distractions and enhance their ability to focus, remain calm, and relax in amidst all the chaos. Now, whenever one is in a room or outdoors environment, and unwanted outside noises are playing in the background, you can enable Ambient Sounds to help you to mask those noises, which, in turn, helps one focus or remain calm. While using the Settings app is one way to turn on Background Sounds on iPhone and iPad, you can also do it through Control Center, or by using the Back Tap function (iPhone), as shown below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you want to disable Background Sounds, just tap twice or three times on the back of the iPhone, and it is turned off. You can enable Ambient Sounds in around 10 seconds with taps via the Settings app, but it is a relatively glacial speed compared with what you can do via shortcuts. To get really deep into Background Sounds, open Settings, head into Accessibility, tap on Sound\/Visual under the Headphones header, and look for Background Sounds. With iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, Apple introduced Background Sounds, a Accessibility feature designed to mask undesirable background noise, decrease distractions, and help people to focus, relax, or relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>If you&#8217;re interested in <a href=\"https:\/\/howtoitech.com\/apple-nfcenabled-android-lost-modeespoacute9to5mac\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"62434\">Apple Nfcenabled Android Lost Modeespoacute9To5Mac<\/a>, take a look at my other article<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>A user can enable Noise Cancellation by going into iPhone 5s settings, going to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\/support\/knowledge-base-209489\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\/support\/knowledge-base-209489\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Accessibility <\/a>section, clicking the Audio\/Visual category, and turning the phones Noise Cancellation toggle. In a thread, a user, RpWils2, wrote of facing difficulties finding a toggle switch to disable phone noise cancellation function, because he thought that it was hindering the transmission of the voice while in a FaceTime session on the iPhone. The Redditor visited an Apple store and spoke to an employee at the Genius Bar, who was not even aware Apple had removed noise cancellation on iPhone 13. Then, the employee, an Apple community specialist, pointed to an article to help users adjust the iPhones audio settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_ambient_noise_reduction_iPhone\"><\/span>What is ambient noise reduction iPhone?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Utilizes air pressure to reduce background noise to improve call quality when the receiver is held close to the ear in noisy environments.
