Implementations generally relate to noise cancelation for loud ambient transient sound. In some implementations, a method includes capturing, by a one or more microphones coupled to one or more earbuds, ambient sounds from an environment of the user while the user is wearing the one or more earbuds. The method further includes enabling, by the one or more earbuds, the user to hear the ambient sounds and media content sounds. The method further includes attenuating the ambient sounds based on one or more noise cancellation policies.
