If your earbud’s noise cancelling feature is still not turning on.

Then maybe it is turned on, but the visual indicator doesn’t work.

That’s why you say your earbud’s noise cancelling is not working. 

A user on Reddit says

“Same buds here, actually the setting toggle in the control center works, but the visual indicator doesn’t change in the control center, and it does change in the bud’s Bluetooth settings. Hope they will fix this soon.”

Test noise cancelling of your earbuds by wearing them in noisy environments.

So, if it is working, it’s only a visual bug that can happen due to outdated firmware. 

Update firmware

So, if the noise cancelling feature works but the visual indicator is not working, then update your earbud’s firmware.
