I don't know what kind of noise-cancelling headphones he has but mine wouldn't help against crying - they reduce the volume of buzzes, humms, and other background noises, but I can definitely still hear shrieks quite well.

Interesting. Not saying you're wrong because, sure, I can hear some crying with mine too but with music or a podcast playing its a distant background noise that my brain just kind of ignores, I guess. But I like to do work on planes so now I'm wondering if I just got used to tuning it out when I'm zoned in. I'm also one of those weirdos that can sleep on planes. So... I Might be in a small group of outliers on this one.
