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.

She’s a pretty popular YouTuber. I think the article is just a repost of a community post on her Patreon

Someone actually wrote that? It reads like AI generated fluff.

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.
