noise-cancelling headphones don't help with crying babies unfortunately, just hums & buzzes like the engines, HVAC system, etc.

I kind of assume people are listening to music or something with the headphones on. That does a good enough job to drown out all sounds for me. If you just put on noise-canceling headphones, turn them on, then don't play anything.... yeah.... not going to be super effective at filtering out crying babies.
