The Silence Machine
from the sign-me-up dept
Another thing to put on the list of things that Techdirt wouldn't mind if someone felt like sending a beta test version over. Some researchers have built a silence machine, that basically does what you'd expect. You know those noise cancelling headphones for use on airplanes? Well, make them speaker sized. The current versions still only block out continuous, predictable noise - but they're working on a newer version that will adjust to other sounds, like talking and music. You can also use them to filter out specific sounds, while letting other noises through. I think I'd want the one with the "nagging" filter...
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
