Which acoustic outcome occurs when active noise cancellation destructively interferes?

💡 Explanation

Reduced amplitude is the correct answer, because destructive interference creates antiphase waves that sum to zero or a smaller amplitude; this mechanism relies on superposition of acoustic wave functions. Therefore, quiet results, rather than louder sound, changed speed, or resonance.
