Noise Cancellation Technologies, Inc., has come up with a low-cost addition to their line of headsets that is a remarkable introduction to this new technology.
Unlike "white noise", which is really just covering up little sounds by producing bigger ones, noise cancellation actually reduces the sound energy reaching your ear.
Similarly at the freeway bus stop: the traffic noise was still loud, but the attenuation of the low frequencies made it a lot easier to take.

  Noise Addict - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Noise Addict was an Australian pop/punk band, formed in Bondi Beach in 1992, originally consisting of Ben Lee, Doron Kalinko, Daniel Kohn, Joel Wasserman, Daniel Mapp and Saul Smith.
Shortly afterwards, Noise Addict released another EP, The Taste in My Eyes; its single "I Wish I Was Him", a mocking satire of Evan Dando, became quite popular, attracting the attention of Mike D from the Beastie Boys, who would maneuver to sign the band to Grand Royal Records.
Noise Addict released another EP with Fellaheen, Noise Addict vs. Silverchair, before being officially signed and releasing Young and Jaded in 1994.

Led by 17-year-old singer/songwriter/guitarist Ben Lee, and comprising drummer Saul Smith, bassist Daniel Kohn and guitarist Romy Hoffman, Noise Addict play in a way that suggests that Harold Bloom's phrase "the anxiety of influence" means nothing to them.
You feel that the band are thrilled to be making this noise, but you also feel their conviction that the noise you come up with for yourself is the only one worth making.
Coming from him and Noise Addict, tales of teen love and longing have the plain-talk quality of confessional songwriting, but without a trace of self-absorption.

If San Francisco's uniquely self-contained Noise Pop Festival lasted long enough, it was bound to coincide with an actual resurgence of popularity in noise pop, and this was the year.
The noise pop phrase was originally coined by founder Kevin Arnold to describe a certain type of crunchy guitar rock--somewhat punky, but cuter than hardcore.
If, however, you choose to play noise pop--as opposed to rap, rave or boy-band crap, then not making a living is just part of the paradigm.

After recording a demo, Noise Addict played their first live date; there they were discovered by promoter/Fellaheen Records honcho Steve Pavlovic, who passed along their tape to Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, who in turn agreed to issue the demo on his own Ecstatic Peace label as 1993's DEF.

The song was discovered by Thurston Moore and Mike D. of the Beastie Boys (mentioned in its lyrics), both of whose labels put out EPs of Lee's band, Noise Addict.
The Taste in My Eyes (later reissued as Noise Addict Vs. Silver Chair, which the other band of Australian teenagers has nothing to do with beyond the title) is a piss-poor five-song quickie with a full electric band.
On Noise Addict's first full album, Meet the Real You, the band (an altered four-piece lineup) has learned to play well enough for Wood's production to make up for whatever's lacking; the remake of "Poison 1080" (from Def) is much improved.

 Noise Addict - Meet the Real You | internet radio on icebergradio.com
Noise Addict's first studio LP, Meet The Real You, typifies the teen quartet's light blend of easily digested, guitar-driven pop and thoughtfully crafted lyrics.
Unlike earlier releases, this time the band plugs in, delivering 14 tracks that sound slicker, harder, and tighter than EPs like Young And Jaded -- potentially ostracizing fans of the group's former lo-fi, acoustic sound.
Moreover, while Noise Addict has no doubt matured -- most easily heard in singer Ben Lee's dramatically deeper voice, as well as in their increasingly sophisticated lyrics and song structures -- at the same time they seem to have lost a bit of the earnestness and vitality that once gave them their charm.

Just 13 years old in 1992 when he recorded music in his bedroom in Bondi Beach, Australia as the band Noise Addict, much has been made about Ben Lee’s youthfulness.
Noise Addict were a full-on Aussie teen sensation, adapted here in the States by hipsters like Sonic Youth and the Beastie Boys.
But now as a 26 year-old, Lee’s youthfulness has been informed by young adulthood and with it a more mature perspective as a singer-songwriter with something to say.

Alice Cooper was in his mid 20s when he scored his first hit with "Eighteen." Ben Lee, the 17-year-old frontman of Australia's Noise Addict, was still 16 when he wrote "16," a less-melodramatic ode to being half-boy/half-man that sets the tone for the band's second release on the Beastie Boys' Grand Royal label.
That doesn't make Lee a better manchild than Cooper, but it certainly adds some novelty appeal to the Noise Addict cause.
With its tunefully simple combination of ratty, garage-rock guitars and artlessly charming vocal melodies, "16" doesn't pretend to be anything more than a winsome pop tune.

The band only lasted for a few EPs and a lone album release, but managed to make big time fans out of renowned rock artists Sonic Youth and the Beastie Boys, who each issued the band's releases via their own record label imprints, Ecstatic Peace and Grand Royal, respectively.
Perhaps realizing that he could just as easily go at it alone since he was the band's main focal point and songwriter, Lee left Noise Addict and launched a solo career, with Grand Royal's backing once more.
The late 90s proved to be a busy time for the burgeoning solo artist, as he issued a steady stream of releases, 1995's Grandpaw Would, 1996's Something To Remember Me By, and 1999's Breathing Tornados.

At one point amidst Noise Addict's January 6th performance at the Bottom of the Hill, vocalist Ben Lee offered a rather accurate observation that went to the effect of "You all seem pretty uptight for Americans." Sure, there were a couple of people jumping up and down in front, but that's about it.
Even the applause was extremely lackluster, yet Noise Addict was absolutely tearing it up on stage, and Ben's vocals were coming out solid as a rock.
Or it could've been that Noise Addict wasn't enough of an improvement, or enough of a change compared to the opening bands, which were quite adept with their guitars, too.

He fronted Sydney band Noise Addict in 1993 aged just 14.
Soon after, the band signed to Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace label and, later, to the Beastie Boys' uber-cool Grand Royal imprint, the arrangement continuing up until and including Lee's 1998 solo album, Breathing Tornadoes.
After 10 years in the business, it seems bizarre that Lee is only 24, but I wonder what the 14-year-old Ben Lee of Noise Addict would think of what he had become.
