Sound equilibrium detecting machine for enclosed areas like theaters, offices, churches etc.. Establishes base ambient sound and then detects any disturbance beyond a tolerable decibel level. Several of these machines in a room can center on the offending party and direct a disembodied hushing sound
(also laser beam via optional laser sight). If ignored, hushing will escalate in volume and frequency.
Will save a lot of people from giving out angry stares.

po, tolerable used to be 40dB, but due to painfully loud sound effects, adverts, trailers etc anything below 80dB is inaudible to the stuned audience. |
|

Does that mean that nobody will get hushed unless they are louder than the movie? Sounds questionable. |
|
| |
I think this would be a fine idea with one addition - but I might get beaten up by the magic brigade.. |
|
| |
Instead of (or as well as) just a tight beam hush, how about generating negative noise, so that the disturbance is never heard by anyone else in the vicinity? |
|
| |
Sound can be focused pretty tightly. |
|
| |
I believe that sound cancellation systems large enough to handle auditoriums will become a reality some day. |

That's what I thought too [blissmiss]. Anyone can hush anybody else down. Try doing that to a 300 pound slob with hygiene problems who seems to have trouble hearing himself. |

Liked that one about a Superhero [Nick]. Come to think of it, could just be the title of the next Schwarzenegger flick. |
