I just sneezed. Look at what happened 😊.

Yep, mine does the same when I used the toro riding mower. It does not realize that I am wearing noise canceling headphones which almost cancel the mower noise completely. Led Zeppelin and ELP are preferred!
I had to turn the decibel warnings off. I spend about half my work day out on a factory floor. I was getting about 30 decibel warnings a day! Lol!
Lol, I remember these warnings when using a Dyson hand dryer at work. That thing actually does get uncomfortably loud. Just seems like a very obvious thing to warn me about, quite hard to miss.
I get the warning when my 19 month old son cries...
At least you didn't get the warning after passing gas. 😆

I second that. I wear one in my right ear, since 25. I am 53 now. It was noise related.
You can turn it off, but I leave mine on. It is a warning that if possible remove yourself from the source of sound so you don’t damage your ears.
That said, wow that is some sneeze!
That there is a dad sneeze.
I can hear my neighbor sneeze when I’m indoors with the windows closed and he’s in his backyard
Shame on me, but I was hesitant to click this thread.
Needn't have worried. So wholesome. Never change Macrumors folks!

I can hear my upstairs neighbor sneeze :E
Though, granted that’s likely more due to bad insulation between the apartments.
I really considering wearing NASCAR type headphones, so I can hear the radio calls. 
Because ANC doesn't block noises out, it just creates more noise to even it out. ANC headphones are NOT meant to protect your hearing.
I do not agree. You are wrong.
Noise cancelling headphones produces a pressure wave that counteracts the noise’s pressure wave, cancelling it out and greatly decreasing the pressure wave before reaching your ear drums. It is simple physics.
I have different noise cancelling headphones I use for target practice at the firing range. Without, my ears would be ringing, with, nothing but a low thud when I pull the trigger. No ringing.

It was obviously working as designed, but seeing as I'm wearing ear plugs when out on the factory floor, it's just a nuisance. It's a great feature, it just doesn't work well for those of us who routinely work in loud environments (with proper hearing protection).Maybe it’s trying to warn you about something?
Bruh I get these alerts when I use hand dryers in public bathroom! 🚽
But if it’s for people yelling, the CNC machine running high speeds and feeds without coolant and causing some loud screeches and noises, I’d be concerned.

Noise cancelling headphones are not a substitute for proper hearing protection.
They are not guaranteed to block 100% of noise.
Hey there! I’m in a class where we work with CNC machines on Tuesday afternoons. The cool thing is, we don’t need to wear earplugs or headphones because they have enclosures on these machines. I still like to wear my AirPods and listen to my favourite artist or replay some of my favourite songs from my library.
We also have these modern HAAS CNC machines with mills and lathes that don’t make a lot of noise, even when we set them to high speeds or spindle rates. This is especially helpful when we’re at the end of class and need to finish up a part quickly. So that way we have time to put tools away, clean up and shut the machine down.
As long as you follow the instructions, the noise level should be pretty low. The only times it can get loud are when there’s a crash or when the tool screeches without coolant. And even then, we make sure to run all our programmes with coolant on every time.

I even do mines like crazy.
Anyone’s noise app goes off when y’all use hand dryers?
