I get constructive and deconstructive, but those are usually in the context of being the same frequency and just being out of phase. I’m talking like…you and your bud having a conversation in a restaurant, with music playing, convos around you, sound of wait staff, etc. If a waiter drops a plate, how does that sound transit through at that higher, unique frequency through all the other noise so that all can hear it?
Thank you for your time!

Sound is a wave. It is a known fact in physics that waves pass through each other undisturbed.
Simple proof: light, too, is a wave. Take two flashlights and cross their beams. One beam can pass through the other beam like it’s not even there. QED, waves can pass through each other without issues.
