scream box
scream as much as you like and no one will hear you | |
Due to my handy stress relieving device, basically a sound
proof hand held box, which can be shouted/screamed into
when stressed. You can express your anger and no one will
hear.
A primal scream box

You want to scream your head off without anyone hearing you? You want a primal scream box? We can't do you a hand-held box, but if you got a small room you're not using for anything, you could build a primal box big enough for you to fit inside and not be like a coffin (see links). Some of the ones pictured in the second link have temperature and humidity controls. But a garden shed might be much the same (they actually look much the same). |
|
| |
The problem with a hand-held box you shout into is going to be sound-proofing it. If you make it an air-tight seal to your face, it's going to restrict your breathing for the screaming. And even then, the sound might get out. I don't have anyone here to listen to me, but I think there's going to be a lot of escaping noise unless you adopt the big heavy box. |
|
| |
It would be nice if it worked, though. |
|
| |
Based on many of the ideas here, they should be placed every 100 yards along every major highway. |
|
| |
Shouldn't this idea have been posted by gizmo mum? |
|
| |
I offer shouts of encouragement to my fellow drivers on roadways everywhere. |
|
| |
Couldn't you just use a motorcycle helmet and glue some acoustic foam to the inside of the faceplate? |
|
| |
If you scream into your motorcycle helmet loudly enough, you can still be heard, even by someone else who is also wearing a motorcycle helmet and earplugs while you're each on your own running motorcycle. All it takes is a sufficiently frightening experience, like seeing a bear standing by the side of the road. |
|
| |
Doesn't this kind of go against what screaming is all about. It's meant to be heard as it shows that there is something frightening you or that you are very annoyed/irritated/pre-menstrual, etc People need to know these things. Besides, screaming out loud is fun. |
|
| |
Elizilla we don't have bears in England, from which Gizmo and his Mum obviously hail. |
|
| |
just substitute - traffic wardens |
|
| |
I've used my car for this purpose. It's not sound-proof, but good enough. |
|
| |
A hand-held device would be cool, though. |
|
| |
whatever happened to gizmo? |

Come back!! The Halfbakery misses you! |

last I heard, his mother was monopolising the pc. |

Wish I had a link, but I remember seeing exactly this thing on TV many years ago. It was a sphere a little larger than a tennis ball, with a round opening on one side about the size of an open (screaming) mouth. The sphere was filed with foam - hence the sound absorbing properties. I think it was Japanese. |
|
| |
I can't believe noone has mentioned 1984 by George Orwell. They had a system where you HAD to scream your head off for 5 minutes every day. Ah the old ones are the best! |
|
| |
As a variation to this, I would like there to be commercially available a "Golden age rant helmet". This is worn by older members of the population who find it necessary to incessantly yell abuse at the participants on TV political discussion programmes. |
|
| |
An internal automatic screen wiper would be provided to clear the spittle off the inside of the faceplate, for uninterrupted vewing and abusive pleasure. |
|
| |
Why do they call it the golden age when your body ceases to function? |
|
| |
Why not just scream out of your window? i think screaming is a lot more beneficial when you scare the crap out of other people. |
|

Really good . I'm impressed!Best one yet! |
