Active Road Noise Reduction (Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)) Now Available on Cybertruck!

Grok short version: we're waiting on server-side rollout

Cybertruck audio system features
ANC activation troubleshooting steps
Thought for 18s

If your Cybertruck meets the eligibility criteria (Premium All-Wheel Drive or Cyberbeast trim on software version 2026.2.9.1 or later), but Active Road Noise Reduction (ANC) isn't appearing or activating, follow these troubleshooting steps in order. These are based on common owner reports and Tesla's phased rollout process, where the feature is often enabled server-side after the update installs.

1. Verify the software update: Open the Tesla app or go to Controls > Software on the vehicle's touchscreen to confirm you're on 2026.2.9.1 (or a subsequent version). If not, connect to Wi-Fi and check for updates—tap the car icon in the app and select "Software Update" to force a check.

2. Check for the ANC toggle: Navigate to Controls > Audio on the touchscreen. Look for "Active Road Noise Reduction" in the settings. If it's there, toggle it on and test by driving at highway speeds or over rough surfaces to notice reduced cabin noise.

3. Perform a soft reboot: If the toggle doesn't appear, park the vehicle safely and hold down both scroll wheels on the steering yoke until the touchscreen goes black and restarts (about 10-30 seconds). This can refresh the system and trigger feature activation.

4. Drive the vehicle: Take a short drive, ideally on varied surfaces like highways or bumpy roads, as some owners report the feature "wakes up" after detecting road noise. Park and check the Audio settings again afterward.

5. Wait for server-side rollout: ANC is deployed in waves, so it may take 1-2 days (or up to a week) for Tesla to flip the switch remotely for your specific vehicle. Keep the truck connected to Wi-Fi when parked to allow any backend updates.

6. Power cycle the vehicle: If the above doesn't work, turn off the truck completely via Controls > Safety > Power Off, wait 2-5 minutes, then press the brake pedal to restart. This can resolve deeper software glitches.

7. Contact Tesla support: If ANC still isn't available after a week, use the Tesla app to request service (under Service > Request Service) or call 1-877-798-3752. Provide your VIN and mention the ANC feature flag—support can often verify or enable it remotely.

Avoid factory resets unless advised by Tesla, as they won't affect server-side features. If you're on the base Dual Motor AWD trim, ANC isn't supported due to hardware differences.

Thanks. Can type in search here and get all the same things. All AI does is pull thoughts from here, and one posts the AI junk, and it confirms it. Like a loop of nothing. So thanks for nothing.

Nothing new, true. I found it to be a useful summary. YMMV. You're welcome.

Looks like mine was just delayed, got back in the car after daycare drop-off and it popped up as a little blue aware in the car menu icon. So less than a 24 hour ~20 miles of driving delay

Core wheels with the aggressive winter tires (Goodyear?), not the Perelli. And the wheel covers.

Edit:
2026.2.9.1 installed yesterday morning.
Drove 72 miles yesterday mixed secondary and highway.
This AM: still no ANC toggle.
Soft boot: still no ANC toggle.

same. stock pirelli core wheels with covers non-FS Premium 2025 AWD

Two CT 06/25 in my household, AWD, two motors. Both have the blue dot near the ANC after the update two days ago.

Nothing yet, updated Tuesday (or Wednesday? )

I got the update and the ANC yesterday morning. ANC was toggled on. I honestly can't tell a thing. I've toggled it on and off and can't tell a difference.

It only works at night and it has to be raining.

2024 FS CT I got update about 4 days ago, still nothing. But today went I check as of now I have lost the DJ commentary options. Maybe that is a step forward ?

Try soft reboot, tried hard reset with scroll wheel.

Still no ANC. Waiting patiently, has anyone with FS CT have it yet? I just want to confirm that we will have it. If it take a week or two I’m ok waiting, but if it’s something that FS don’t have then it’s just plain suck !

Really? Welcome to Tesla ownership as this happens all the time. Another example not related to the Cybertruck is the active matrix headlights. They have been in most of the vehicles since 2022 (I believe) but their capability is only now being turned on.

And on active noise reduction, my truck updated to 2026.2.9.1 yesterday but no active noise reduction toggle in audio. And yes, I have the premium sound package.
Grok suggested I do a reset which didn’t help. Also said it might just appear in a few days and if not I should call Tesla.

I got mine. It worked reducing the wind noise on my roof rack. It worked quite well overall for people with good ears. It will not make your CT soundproof from the outside. You will still hear other noises but a little bit muted.

I just got the software update, and the release notes have no mention of ANC

Do you have a FS? Thanks

 

[Fausto]

Updated today. No ANC. FS AWD.

Do you have a FS? Thanks

No. 2025 AWD
