Tesla to Enable 'Active Noise Cancellation' on Cybertruck With Update
https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/3...-noise-cancellation-on-cybertruck-with-update
February 25, 2026
The launch of the new $59,990 Cybertruck has given us a lot of new information to dig through, but one of the most exciting details was hiding right in the middle of Tesla’s new trim comparison tool.
If you look closely at the audio specs for the Premium AWD and Cyberbeast, Tesla has officially listed Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) as a standard feature. Since ANC is currently disabled on all Cybertrucks on the road today, its sudden appearance on the spec sheet is an indication that a software update will enable it soon.
Hardware is Already There
If you have been following along, you know that the Cybertruck actually shipped from the factory with the hardware required for Active Noise Cancellation.
Earlier this year, a deep dive into the Tesla Service Toolbox revealed that the Cybertruck features the same basic ANC hardware architecture found in Tesla’s other flagships - the Model S and Model X. However, the service tool explicitly notes: “ANC software is not enabled on Cybertruck even though the hardware is installed.”
While the Model S and Model X use six microphones in the cabin to achieve this effect, the Cybertruck will be doing the same using just four.
The likely reasons for the delay are related to the Cybertruck’s unique acoustics. Between the massive glass roof, the echoing cavities within the aluminum castings that Tesla uses to project sound, and the road noise from the heavier all-terrain tires, Tesla’s audio engineers are likely finding massive challenges in tuning ANC to effectively cancel out the specific frequencies of the Cybertruck’s road noise.
How ANC Works
Once a future OTA update drops and enables the feature, it will operate similarly to a pair of noise-cancelling headphones.
Using microphones placed throughout the cabin, alongside accelerometers near the wheels, the ANC system constantly monitors the low-frequency rumble of the road and the hum of the tires. The system then generates anti-noise, which is essentially inverted sound waves, that are pushed through the 15-speaker setup into the cabin to effectively erase the background drone and create quiet zones.
Who Will Get It?
Based on the new comparator, ANC will be exclusive to the two premium trims - Premium AWD and Cyberbeast. The new base Dual Motor AWD will not include ANC, as it reduces the number of speakers to achieve its low price point.
If you’re a current owner of a Cybertruck, you can look forward to ANC finally getting enabled soon.
