On to my question. If you have enough high amplitude random noise that is effectively destructive interference, would this make an enviorment where low amplitude sound could not be hear or even mechanically sensed easily?

The effect you've described is called sound masking (more generally, auditory masking), so yes, but the cause isn't quite what you inferred (destructive interference). :-)
