Master the noise: active control of sound and vibration
With the growing popularity of noise-cancelling headphones, active noise control is quickly becoming a well-known technology.
There are many unwanted sounds around us, and we often call them noise. What can we do to eliminate them? Come and explore one of the intelligent ways to achieve that. You will learn how modern systems that cancel noise in headphones work and how they perform in different soundscapes. Linking vibration of surfaces to noise, you will also see how we can control vibration to improve comfort or reduce noise.
