camerart Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 Hi Is there a way to quieten external noise from getting into a room? E,g, living in a house with a factory nearby. I'm sure there are expensive ways, but perhaps something for a home brew project please. Cheers, Camerart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryA Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 Some years ago there was research on noise suppression by picking up a noise and playing it back 180 degrees out of phase. If you played a sound through two speakers connected out of phase, that is so when one cone came out while the other went in, would they tend to cancel? Thus creating a small cone of silence.

HarryA Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 Also sounding proofing outside going doors and windows with heavy fabric is said to help. Plus having sound absorbing rugs and wall hangs reduces the unwelcomed sounds. I see one cannot edit previous postings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camerart Posted November 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 Hi H, There a couple of us doing this, my friend has tried 180° but it didn't work, much. I imagine that noise cancelling headphones, suppress street and chat noise, but this is intermittent bangs, which may be more difficult. We're now thinking about transducers on the windows. If you go to the post you want to EDIT, click the top 3x dots and see if EDIT comes up. C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
