ANC uses more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.

Google Pixel Buds Pro have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
