Just had my coworker to notice me, that there is a fire alarm right now.

Man I must say, good Job Sennheiser on Their NC headphones!

yes

yes

@samikopok exactly

hehehhee

@-red hm, don’t know what you mean with “white” but yes, like background stuff is cancelled better then speech.
I had pretty loud volume and was in the zone, to the alarm had no chance to hit my brain.

Also I didn’t know, what the alarm was like, so it gets harder for my subconscious ness to notice the sound.

I guess you can overhear the fire alarm either if it is not well designed (you can't really here it everywhere) or you combine NC with music

@-red yes, NC works best for whitenoise and also lower frequency. But if the NC is high quality, it will also cancel out other sounds by a good percentage
