How To Build A Speech Jamming Gun - Technology Review - 1 views
-
he drone of speakers who won't stop is an inevitable experience at conferences, meetings, cinemas and public libraries.

Unfortunately it won't work when it is most needed .... Read this: "Their tests also identify some curious phenomena. They say the gun is more effective when the delay varies in time and more effective against speech that involves reading aloud than against spontaneous monologue. Sadly, they report that it has no effect on meaningless sound sequences such as "aaaaarghhh".

That's quite interesting. Maybe the future of buildings and spacecraft is furry?
