Hi, I am currently enrolled in college and my surroundings have tendency to be a bit loud. I have been looking into the availability of software that would be able to take signal input from a microphone and generate a signal cancelling output to my headphones. I already own a high end set of headphones so I wish to avoid buying any new hardware that has noise cancelling functionality built in.

I have looked around for a program that would be able to do this but so far my search has been unsuccessful. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
 
What headphones do you have, and how attached are you to them? For the money this would cost, assuming that such a product even exists, you can probably get a pretty nice set of in-ear headphones that'll offer you ~30dB of attenuation. The Shure E3c and Etymotic brands come up oftentimes as recommendations for those who have to deal with a lot of noise. I know there's a few people on this board that own them, just ask them to give you a better idea :D
 
You will need stereo microphones - one on each ear. You can't just put a microphone on a desk and expect it to be able to cancel out the sound through your headphones. The sound waves that hit the microphone will be quite different from the sound waves that hit your ears, so the software just won't be able to properly cancel out the sound you hear.
 
Or, you could just use the bleedingly obvious, and buy a set of earplugs for...what are they, 50 cents?


Not everything requires a computer to be functional, you know :rolleyes:
