As a swede who wanted to look up more about these Swedish researchers, it was hilarious to me that they were actually Swiss. Then I looked up the article's author and apparently she's German. Seriously thought only North America got Sweden and Switzerland mixed up.

What a bad article.

She's a pretty popular YouTuber. I think the article is just a repost of a community post on her Patreon

Someone actually wrote that? It reads like AI generated fluff.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

That last neighbor bit.

Editor: remember, you need to have a statement about negatives or limitations, can't have only positives.

Writer: uhh you got it, boss, I'm sure I can think of something.

Autistic son will take any invention that blocks noise so hopefully this becomes something 🙈😂

“3cm thick material” “Cancelled 20-2000 hz”

Idk that seems like some bad limitation. Active noise cancelling can already cancel low tones pretty well and fits in earbuds.

I wonder how many marriages they will save?

And, yeah, I want a pair too.

Because if there's one thing that threatens most marriages, it's too much communication

I probably should have put a smiley on my comment.

I've been happily married for almost 30 years now.

I assumed you were talking about snoring.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

This would be revolutionary and I'm not just talking about headphones, think about situations like having a snoring partner or a construction site nearby. I can imagine how a business like "earplugs with ionised noise cancellation" emerges and becomes very successful.

I want this tech in my home's or car windows to deaden the noise pollution in the city.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

That's really ironic considering most of the noise pollution is cars lol

[–] [email protected] -4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If those work as well as the article claims, I look forward to owning a pair.

Wonder if they can get the tech small enough to put inside earplugs?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I don’t need earplugs. I’d just wear it in a necklace and enjoy the quiet.
