That's why in my car I don't drive, don't turn on the engine and only listen to pure tones, because otherwise I put extra strain on the transducers.
That's a philosodiophile argument IMO. How do you estimate, if it's broad noise, when the sum of music+NC causes extra amplitude and effort, and when it leads to lower amplitude and facilitates the movement? Plus if the movement is to counter air pressure fluctuations from ambient noises, don't we end up with increased fidelity?
It's without a doubt, challenging to get things right in a car and I can think of a few reasons why the sound with NC could feel worst(or really be worst), but I honestly doubt that your hypothesis is the explanation for that.
I heard the intermittent diminished bass myself, in my 2010 Honda Accord with the ANC system. After disconnecting it from the back of the Audio Unit(Honda's term for 'radio' or deck), I no longer experienced intermittent low-end performance from the speakers.
And before you suggest the ANC was 'malfunctioning' in my specific case, I'll suggest that no noise cancellation system is perfect, particularly when it deploys through the same amp & speakers as the entertainment system in a vehicle.
