A different kind of design for absorbing vibrations could help better soundproof walls and make vehicles more streamlined, a new study shows. The study tested how well built-in resonators handled ...

Volume control is a simple premise on Android phones. You hit your volume rocker, set your volume, and go. You can also set your notification, call, and media volumes independently. However, that is ...

A team of UConn College of Engineering (CoE) researchers have achieved a major milestone in the field of phononics with the first experimental demonstration of an all-flat phononic band structure (AFB ...

Acoustic metamaterials (AMMs) represent a transformative approach to sound manipulation, capable of controlling acoustic waves in ways that are not possible with traditional materials. These materials ...

Have you ever wondered how vibration influences the sound of your stereo system? Not just the turntable but every component. Learn how to improve the sound of your HiFI with vibration control. The ...

Noise pollution impacts millions of people around the globe, with various studies showing that noise is the second largest cause of health problems after air pollution. Everyday sounds that we might ...

One enduring challenge for controlling high frequency sound in local active noise control (ANC) systems is to obtain the acoustic signal at the specific location to be controlled. In some applications ...

I play a lot of games to test gaming headsets, from Expedition 33 to F1 25, but I never skip Control because of its eerie ...

There's a way to secure safe sound decibel in iOS 14. We'll teach you how! Mobile phones these days can be used for different reasons. They have expanded from simply devices for communication purposes ...

Researchers have succeeded in controllably propagating sound waves along the boundaries of topological metamaterials using a modulation technique that breaks time-reversal symmetry. This feat, which ...
