NOISE
The world ought to be a quieter place. Anti-noise has hit the marketplace. It means, for
example, that refrigerators will no longer whine, vacuum cleaners no longer roar, and
washing machines no longer rumble. It may even soon be possible to cancel out the lowfrequency throb of the teenage stereo blasting its bass through the wall from the flat next
door. Already Toshiba has introduced a silent refrigerator. Built into the fridge is a system
that silences the hum of the motor by firing anti-noise at it.
What is anti-noise? It is the exact opposite of a particular sound. It peaks when the other
sound dips, and dips when the other sound wave peaks. The anti-sound is fired at the
unwanted sound through a loudspeaker. The two waves cancel each other out, like ripples
meeting each other on a pond. The rest is silence.
There must, however, be a perfect match, otherwise you end up with double the din. Thus
anti-noise has had to wait for the microprocessor in order to be effective. The
microprocessor can monitor the unwanted sound and respond in milliseconds.
A typical active noise cancellation system has been sold to a railway company in the United
States. The company unloads grain from trains by using giant vacuum tubes. These tubes
produce as much noise a jet taking off. After installing the system, the noise was reduced to
the level of an air-conditioner's hum. Forty were installed, to the relief of Americans living
near railway unloading points.
In the aircraft industry, active noise cancellation is contributing to a revival in propeller-driven
passenger aircraft, which passengers disliked because of their noise. The first test flight with
an anti-noise system took off in 1989. The system has now move on from research to
commercial development, with passengers likely to hear the benefits in a year or two.
In the car industry, conventional mufflers generate back-pressure, which forces the engine to
work harder. An active noise canceller removes the need for sound-absorbing chambers,
and improves fuel consumption by as much as six per cent. From the point of view of saving
fuel, car makers are keen to install the technology.
It won't be long before silent washing machines, fridges and vacuum cleaners are in the High
Street shops. Electrolux has signed an agreement to manufacture the technology which
should be on the market by 1994.
The trouble is, once you remove one noise, you become more aware of all the others. How
will we be able to shut up the sparrows at five in the morning?
