I’m currently on a train filled with rowdy football lads being rowdy, so I put my wireless earbuds in on the hope that would block out some of the noise. But the voices around me only got louder. Is there a scientific explanation for this? I figured it was something to do with how soundwaves travel through plastic but I don’t know much about acoustics.

most noise cancelling technology lacks the ability to process high-pitch sounds (people talking, screeching sounds, etc.) quick enough to completely silence them, making them clearer and more noticeable than low-pitch sounds. either you’re mistaking higher pitch sounds being more noticeable as “louder”, or you have transparency mode on.
