I suppose this question belongs in sci.energy, but since "noise
cancellation" started here:

In an audio noise canceller (sp?), one injects energy into the air.
Like a truly soundless room, no sound is heard, but now there is
energy.  What does this energy get converted into, heating the
air maybe?  In a soundful room, would the energy heat other objects
(walls)?
