Scientists estimate that as many as 90 percent of all people living inside crowded cities are exposed to strong noises around the clock. The exposure level is so high that it could lead to permanent hearing damage, including deafness.
One of the most interesting aspects of the study is that it identifies leisure ac... |

Policymakers in the European Union are at this point trying to come to an agreement about how to best limit the noise levels produced by modern mp3 players. The devices employ such advanced technologies, that they can easily produce sounds up to 100 decibels in intensity from very small headsets. Millions of teens on... |

There are extremely few vehicles that can attenuate the bumps and/or noises of a ride, especially when conditions are tougher than normal. And even those cannot reach the dampness level achieved by a novel technology from the French ARTEC Aerospace. The company's experts devised a vibration and acoustic attenuat... |

As of late, the levels of noise in the planet's oceans reached incredible levels and it doubles every decade, which affects marine mammals' breeding and feeding habits in a negative way. The relatively new sources of noise, such as ships, oil platforms (which generate seismic blasts), low-frequency son... |

As Mac users, we like to think of ourselves as hard working individuals who (no surprise here) have gone with the best computing solution out there. The Mac is intuitive, which makes it a pleasure to use in any circumstances... except for when your roommates are noisy. There's a way to "even things out" though.N... |

It is well known that electronic devices work better when subjected to low temperatures. The reason is very simple. The electrical resistance of materials is in direct relation with temperature. Higher temperature means higher electrical resistance and ultimately higher power loss. With enhanced temperature, thermal ... |

The left cortical hemisphere realizes this through an acoustical technique named "simultaneous masking", which enables the brain to distinguish one sound even when it comes together with competing sounds and noises. Also named frequency masking, the process often takes place when two or more sounds with a similar fre... |

Have you ever heard of magnets making noise? It's called the Barkhausen effect and it's a name given to the noise in the magnetic output of a ferromagnet when the magnetizing force applied to it is changed.It's easy for scientists to measure the minute thermal fluctuations in the magnetization of ferr... |
