Trying on my wife’s Bose noise canceling headphones now. Mutes music somewhat, mutes street noise almost completely. I’d like exactly the reverse. I like generic ambient noise background but dislike most music, most times. I need music-canceling headphones. Help

Play noise on the noise cancelling headphones. Android app "atmosphere".

Step one: Identify the piece and rendition (already apps for that). Step 2: Synchronized playback with cancelling wave forms. Step 3: You already know what I'm thinking.

Well, what worked for me was a pair of earplugs. Great to have at parties. Not sure why you can't just play ambient noise on the noise-cancelling headphones, won't that make them cancel the neighbour's music? Or do you want genuine, organic ambient noise?

I’m going to try that. Just don’t think it will work well given how noise cancellation works
Hardest part about “fun get togethers” is that some people cannot exist with silence for any amount of time.
Jabra has ANC headphones that also have an optional ambient sounds mode, like waves crashing, birds, etc. No street noise, but maybe you can add a feature request.

Bose + brown/white noise works like a charm like others have suggested.
Try the Bose frames..they allow ambient noise and play music of your choice. Your music could be silence?
