How do I check the noise cancelling level that they keep demonstrating? Particularly here

Is this only a feature for the new AirPods Pro 2 and the Watch OS9?

Add “Hearing” to Control Centre. That’s where I have it. Ever since I started using it, I’ve been listening to music at no higher than 65% with Noise Cancellation. Very useful.

Thanks, I appreciate that. However, I’m asking about the decibels being reduced in the AirPods themselves when the ANC is enabled like in the video. I do have the noise app, but it’s not measuring how much the ANC is reducing the environment around me.

Hmm, ok so may be different to what I was thinking.

I wonder if it's just the Watch App that has a different interface - does anyone with APP 1 have an Apple Watch & can confirm what the Hearing App detects? It'll confirm if this is exclusive to APP 2 or not.

Looks like that is a new Noise app in new watchOS. Possibly doing that when you're using AirPods Pro (old & new I would presume).

Maybe in the Apple Watch can make it because compare the Airpods with the mic os the Apple Watch.
