2. Active noise control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_noise_control

   The wavelength in air of sinusoidal noise at approximately 800 Hz is double the distance of the average person's left ear to the right ear; [1] such a noise coming directly from the front will be easily reduced by an active system but coming from the side will tend to cancel at one ear while being reinforced at the other, making the noise ...

3. Noise-cancelling headphones - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-cancelling_headphones

   Without power, some models do not function as regular headphones. Any battery and additional electronics may increase the size and weight of the headphones compared to regular headphones. The noise-cancelling circuitry may reduce audio quality and add high-frequency hiss, although reducing the noise may result in higher perceived audio quality ...

4. Ferrite bead - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrite_bead

   A ferrite bead – also called a ferrite block, ferrite core, ferrite ring, EMI filter, or ferrite choke [1] [2] – is a type of choke that suppresses high-frequency electronic noise in electronic circuits. Ferrite beads employ high-frequency current dissipation in a ferrite ceramic to build high-frequency noise suppression devices.

5. Noise reduction - Wikipedia

   dbx was a competing analog noise reduction system developed by David E. Blackmer, founder of Dbx, Inc. [21] It used a root-mean-squared (RMS) encode/decode algorithm with the noise-prone high frequencies boosted, and the entire signal fed through a 2:1 compander. dbx operated across the entire audible bandwidth and unlike Dolby B was unusable ...

6. Soundproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundproofing

   A pair of headphones being tested inside an anechoic chamber for soundproofing. Soundproofing is any means of impeding sound propagation.There are several methods employed including increasing the distance between the source and receiver, decoupling, using noise barriers to reflect or absorb the energy of the sound waves, using damping structures such as sound baffles for absorption, or using ...

7. Hearing protection device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_protection_device

   Low frequency noise is attenuated worse than mid- and high-frequency noise. Most employers did not have the means to measure the noise spectrum. It was assumed that the average noise attenuation in workplaces is about the same as in laboratory conditions. It was believed that the differences in noise attenuation among different workers are small.
