A device or system designed to suppress or cancel resonance, vibrations, or sound waves.
From anti- (against) + resonator (a device that resonates). Technical term developed in 20th-century acoustics and engineering.
Active noise-canceling headphones use antiresonator principles—literally making sound cancel itself out through perfectly timed opposite vibrations, which is basically sound fighting sound!
