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.

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.

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.

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?
