Americans have an accent known as the American accent. People who do not have the accent hear it, but to someone that has the accent it can not be heard because they are used to speaking it. British people do not have an accent but to Americans and other countries they do for example.

Everyone has an accent, including Americans. The perception that Americans do not have an accent is because American English is often considered the standard or "neutral" accent in certain contexts. Different regions within the United States, however, have various accents and dialects.
