This sound-suppressing silk can create quiet spaces


These smart people at MIT may have found something that has possibilities for audio applications.  I'll take a couple of bolts of this.

Cool! 😎 Will be interesting to see how they actually apply the tech, and what specific noises it'll reduce.

Some what like windscreens used in open top cars. Similar applications can be applied elsewhere in audio. Imagination applies.

There’s so much noise pollution, we could solve the energy challenge by using these to generate power.

If they can keep the price at a reasonable level, this would go a long way to treating shared listening spaces (living rooms, etc.).
