One of my personal pet peeves about having to be in public spaces where it's generally understood to keep quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gary C Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 lol, do want. Not sure if everyone at work would just think I'm an utter cunt if I used this constantly though. I'd only turn it off when I've got something to say, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyrex Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 When I was a brief commuter, I used headphones! That's my go-to solution as well, but sometimes I don't want to listen to music, or worse, you can still hear them over your music despite the headphones!

kinski Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 fucking yes. and people who talk loudly through their cell phones as well. shut the fuck up world, i'm trying to read / think / listen to music. headphones are not always a solution as i'm not really into the idea of cranking everything up to ridiculous levels.

awesomeperson Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Rather pointless if you can't used it against a pack of youths at the cinema or anywhere else where silence is wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 I liken this to those cell phone blockers/jammers that got outlawed awhile back - how wonderful it must be to see some asshat loudly talking on his phone in a quiet place (or a place clearly where etiquette dictates hushed tones and avoiding taking phone calls), and flipping the switch on one of those babies and watch their face screw up in confusion as their call drops and they can't dial back...

Guest cult fiction Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Does this really work? I record speech all the time played back live via headphones or monitors with latencies within the specified range of 4-195ms, and have never experienced anything like this. Past studies relating to the improvement of stuttering using DAF at various delay D settings (between 0.004[sec] and 0.195[sec]) have been previously summarized [5]. From the summary it can be observed that stuttering improves relative to the size of the D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or of course, you could always just ask them to be quiet politely, if that fails ask management to remove them. I've had to ask people to be quiet in lectures, it's not a big deal, and they've always realized it's not cool to be talking at the time. edit: no yek, it's not a cell-phone jammer. The basics are, it's a recorder, with a unidirectional amplifier that plays back what the person said with a short delay. The theory being that when you hear yourself, you'll stop talking (hasn't worked on politicians). It's called delayed auditory feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
