The support page for Google Meet mentions that the platform utilises artificial intelligence to reduce the ambient noise around the user. If the noise cancellation feature is on, it filters out sounds in the background. It is worth noting that Google Meet does not filter out the sound of a TV, music, or other heavier sounds.
