Consider, for your listening pleasure, the next frontier in sonic miracles: so-called “audible enclaves,” where only you can hear a sound without disturbing anyone else in open space — no headphones required.
As developed by a team of researchers at Penn State, whose findings are published as study in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, this technology can create pockets of sound isolated from their surroundings that can be targeted at a specific location, potentially picking someone out in the middle of a crowd.
I wonder if this could be used for noise canceling in larger rooms. Imagine if you could press a button and the world turns silent.
Or it could be used to make people think they are hearing voices. Maybe the guy with the tin foil hat was onto something.
Could definitely be used to target someone with audible manipulations
You think propaganda is hard to decipher now… This mixed with holograms and sentient ai will eventually be used to create the return of the messiah.
Excellent! Targeted ads within a crowd; can’t wait

So voice transmission technique? Between this and the guy who made drone flying swords I am so ready for the techno-Wuxia world of tomorrow.
Man.. I wish I could somehow do this to my friends brain to kill his cancer, do anything to just jiggle that tumor out without effecting the rest.
Is this done with one speaker, 2 speakers, or many speakers? How many decibels is the ultrasonic sound. The article mentions 60 for the audible portion, but not the ultrasonic portion. Are there any health risks with high decibel ultrasonic sound?
I look forward to having the police called less on me as a busker.
They use it to contact you about your car’s extended warranty.
I remember reading about Hypersonic Sound in a TapeOp magazine around…2000? Seems like these researchers have made some tweaks so it can bend around obstacles. Here’s an old video talking about it https://youtu.be/HF9G9M0cR0E?si=kJJspNlB71YiGGH1
This is 10,000% going to be militarized for use with those sonic weapons cops use as crowd dispersal
When I was little my Grandmother would sometimes catch us kids about to do something we shouldn’t and whisper in our ear from across the room. She said she never learned to throw her voice it’s just something she figured out. Freaked us out every time.
Don’t they already do this at the sphere in lv? They claim each seat can get a different audio track its used to let each audience member pick the language they way to hear.
Now invent a sound that makes you shit yourself and combine them.
Schizophrenia sufferers all over just screamed “we knew it”
It could be used in a star trek style pin, for a universal translator.
You ever wonder if they hold back tech because of how useful or dangerous it would be?
