Question for my fellow AirPods Pro users, if you’re walking down a quiet, suburban/countey street and a car drives by, do you hear it?

I 100% hear it, it’s just quieter, but I get the impression with how others talk about their AirPods that they literally don’t hear it. The world is actually silent when they are using ANC.

@matt_birchler I get too engrossed in what I’m listening to, so I don’t hear things I should have heard. For that reason I don’t use ANC when using them in areas where I need to be aware of my surroundings, like walking where there is traffic!
