That's why I've always wanted to put a hugemongous audio system on a cart and have it noise cancel. Now we just have to wait a few more years till I get enough of my EE degree done...

Many have said (for various reasons) silence is loud... imagine when a cart goes by you it gets quiet and gets loud again when it goes away.

Also, before everybody shoots this down, I realize that given perfect cancelling ability with minimal delay the best you can do is attempt to servo the air pressure in the area to a stable level, which wouldn't allow anyone around the noise-cancelling device to be herd. Also, I'm not sure, but I think it would feed back too... although I'm not sure if there's any filtering that could be designed to keep that from happening. Again, I'm not an EE... yet.
