    As a swede who wanted to look up more about these Swedish researchers, it was hilarious to me that they were actually Swiss. Then I looked up the article’s author and apparently she’s German. Seriously thought only North America got Sweden and Switzerland mixed up.

    What a bad article.

    That last neighbor bit.

    Editor: remember, you need to have a statement about negatives or limitations, can’t have only positives.

    Writer: uhh you got it, boss, I’m sure I can think of something.

    “3cm thick material” “Cancelled 20-2000 hz”

    Idk that seems like some bad limitation. Active noise cancelling can already cancel low tones pretty well and fits in earbuds.

    This would be revolutionary and I’m not just talking about headphones, think about situations like having a snoring partner or a construction site nearby. I can imagine how a business like “earplugs with ionised noise cancellation” emerges and becomes very successful.

    I wonder how many marriages they will save?

    And, yeah, I want a pair too.

      Because if there’s one thing that threatens most marriages, it’s too much communication

        I probably should have put a smiley on my comment.

        I’ve been happily married for almost 30 years now.

          I assumed you were talking about snoring.

    If those work as well as the article claims, I look forward to owning a pair.

    Wonder if they can get the tech small enough to put inside earplugs?
