Absorbing traffic noise with Helmholtz resonators (video)

Those that scoff have no ground. I’d love to experiment if even simply to learn of the possibilities 🙏🏼👍🏼

@hilde45 ...Thanks, I've bookmarked that talk....👍

Acoustic environments are complicated....large or small, the large ones done in the past are fraught with 'good ideas' that ultimately didn't pan out, then subjected to 'tweaks' and measures that 'worked' but spoiled the 'intended concept' of a space and its' attempt at a beautiful yet practical environment.

One can wonder if an AI aimed at the task of 'taming this sort of beast' would be able to cope with the conundrum....?

Or would it just get pissed and retaliate....*L*

@asvjerry A.I. did come to mind for me, too. Acoustics is inordinately complicated and the additional computational power already being deployed in headphones and other applications might be put to work in dealing with room noise.

It would be fabulous if we could drop the noise floor of nearly any room, anywhere. This would make listening rooms amazing, but also restaurants and other crowded spaces. 

In short: Down with Noise!

This certainly falls into the "Gee, I never thought of that!" category.

Very interesting.  Much more socially and environmenatlly friendly than tire deflation strips to reduce traffic noise.

Thanks for sharing.
