Absorbing traffic noise with Helmholtz resonators (video)


Interesting talk.
@mahgister  will like!

"These Bricks Can Absorb Traffic Noise - Thesis Presentation on Helmholtz Resonators"

"I gave a talk on my Masters Thesis Project in Architecture focusing on Altering Soundscapes in Exterior Environments using Helmholtz Resonators in Ceramic Bricks to absorb Low Frequency Traffic Noise.

I recently graduated from @BartlettArchUCL at University College London and was invited to give a talk on my project for the Portland Digital Fabrication Club in Portland."

@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!

@hilde45 

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.

I am glad there are educated people in this area to help us enjoy the music thanks.

@waytoomuchstuff ..."...tire deflation strips ..."

Remind me to tiptoe past your home....*?*

What was that recent movie 'bout not making the slightest noise or sound....or the creatures would attack you...? 😏😎

@hilde45 ....I'm 'down with" the Art of Noise, tho'....  Big fan longtime with the AON... ;) 👍

Big fan of educated people as well, @mark200mph ....*G*
