The ANC in the newer AirPods Pro is no different than in the older ones, in terms of how it works. The processor chip however is newer/better, it can work faster, meaning not only are shorter-duration sounds (e.g., clapping) more dampened, but the ANC also is now able to work higher in frequency, covering more of the audible spectrum.
