How do you design a noise cancelling circuit?

I mean, headphones or ear buds are capable of reducing the ambient background noise. Can it realize by circuit design or other approaches?

There are two general solutions to cancellation processes.

  • The simplest is to use a feedback loop with a microphone inside the headphones. The feedback attempts to minimize the sound level at the microphone by producing sound that cancels ambient.
  • The second uses digital sampling for repetitive sounds like engine noise and produces a cancelling sound.

How can I solder an SMD component with a pad on the bottom?

I am getting a PCB manufactured for a project that I am working on. One of the parts, the A4950 motor driver, has a “pad” on the bottom, which is meant to be soldered to GND of the PCB for thermal dissipation. I was thinking about the prototyping, and I am unsure how I would go about (using a soldering iron), soldering the pad on the bottom.
