Škoda introduces bike bell that cuts through noise-cancelling headphones to keep you safe – here's how it works

So Škoda and the University of Salford have designed a bike bell that hits in an apparent gap in ANC headphones. And they have made the plans open source. Can anyone explain why this gap in ANC exists?

Any thoughts?

I just modeled this behemoth on google sketchup and built it, fortunately I haven't filled yet with acoustic insulation material, but I bought a fluffy fiberglass (it's kinda compared with pink fluffy from owens corning) It will go in the back wall, the corners will be from floor to ceiling soffit traps of 60cm depth and 60cm wide

How would you dampen and deaden this room?

Renting this space soon, planning on making classic DIY mineral wool panels,

would love more ideas on how to dampen this room, how do bass frequencies even move in a room of this shape? Where do I trap the bass?

Soundproofing condo floor

I'm looking for an effective soundproofing solution for my condo. Purpose mostly is to prevent as much noise, talking, music, bass, etc from the unit below. Additionally, minimizing noise and impact from me going down is good too.

Roughly 800 sq ft and mostly carpet with tile in bathroom and kitchen. Carpet is getting replaced in any case so using this as an opportunity. Considering also replacing tiling too as they've aged and cracked.

One solution, at least under the new carpet is to have a layer of mass loaded vinyl (mlv) then an acoustic carpet pad of some sort. I'm not sure if this is effective, overkill, or if there are better solutions.

Noise has been a large, non-trivial problem from below for years and it's not all on the neighbors, some of it is just the building. I love where I live and want to do what I can.

Thanks for reading, welcome to thoughts, feedback and is there something else I should consider?

Undeniably you can find a listening position in any room that gives the flattest is untreated but i have found the one idea listening position that seems to avoid the nulls in 100 and 200 herts range. I placed the loudspeaker at the wall, and played 100 herts and 200 herts tones and discovered where the nulls were, or is it the peaks. This si the flattest repsonse i have been able to get. My first acoustical treatment is going to be R-30 "pink fluffy" in the ceiling joists which are 12 inches deep.
