Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.

The JBL Wave Beam's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component produces high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it. SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Wave Beam's measurement is 100dB/mW.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
