Google is adding a new “Clear Calling” feature to Android 13 that “reduces background noises during calls”. The feature was first spotted on Twitter by Mishaal Rahman.
Images shared by Rahman state that Net Call works on “most mobile networks”, “not available for Wi-Fi calling” and “the content in your search is not sent to Google”.

Google has been bragging about its noise canceling features (and dedicated hexa-core sound chips) for a while. The first of these features, and perhaps one of the most impressive, could be to use AI to suppress background noises in Google Meet, such as the crackling of snack bags, keyboard clicks, and dogs barking. More recently, the Pixel Buds Pro, the company’s first earbuds with active noise canceling, went on sale for $199.
The Pixel Buds Pro’s active noise canceling system is described by testers as “good enough”, though it won’t replace Sony and Bose. It seems that Google now wants to extend this technology to phone calls as well.
