There can still be background noise, but if you're wearing a headset there is not a feedback loop where noise from the other participants gets looped through your mic and speakers.

Participants often don't realize that they're the culprit when somebody else sounds terrible.

The software could require everyone to do a mic check before joining the meeting. It would record a second of them saying "hello" and play it back to them.

This would kill the product instantly. People don't like being reminded what their voice sounds like.
