Yeah so it kind of depends on the exact details to determine if active noise cancellation would be sufficient.
Might also be a health and safety issue if hearing protection is required.
If active noise cancellation doesn't work, there's still the other ones I listed which are actual noise protection earmuffs with a speaker in them or putting earbuds on your ears and then your current protection earmuffs.
