Morphology

antinoise = noise (transparent) = anti + nois

The meaning is directly compositional: 'anti-' means against or reducing, and 'noise' is the target sound.

Etymology

Antinoise mixes the prefix anti- ('against', as in antivirus) and the word noise ('unwanted sound'), so it describes something made to fight or reduce noise.
