Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
Google Pixel Buds Pro have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 too have ANC which makes either of the devices ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. The Google Pixel Buds Pro and OnePlus Buds Pro 2 work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that suits your commute or that enhances your relaxation time.

Highest Frequency
Google Pixel Buds Pro
20,000hz
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 40,000hz
The Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.

OnePlus Buds Pro 2 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Google Pixel Buds Pro
Sound Pressure Level
Google Pixel Buds Pro
75db/mw
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 97db/mw
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, Google Pixel Buds Pro's measurement is 75dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
OnePlus Buds Pro 2's sound pressure level measurement is 97dB/mW. How loud a device is can be perceived differently by separate people, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
