Maybe for northern rural homes only - with mics on the outside , speakers on the inside, volume control , noise limiter.

No I want this in the city, I love all the city sounds!!!! |

This is interesting. It might be possible to implement using triple-pane glass: use the outer pane as a microphone, isolation provided by a (relatively thick/dense) middle pane, and speaker formed from the inside pane. |

Hull seems to be attempting the transition from "rural" to "maritime" to "marine" to "sub-marine" .... |

I live by the railway and have incredibly well soundproofed walls and windows. Maybe I could get a feed from outside your window? That would be better. |
|
| |
It would be fun to be able to hear what people were talking about, outside in the city. I wouldn't want all the traffic noises though; any way to filter those out? |
|

A directional boom should suit your purposes. I've seen things in articles and TV shows which do just that - check out your local spy store. |

Open the window? It's very cold outside. But then, there will not be so many birds, in winter. Definitely might want to select your 'outside' over a menu of Web feeds. |

A giant pinna on the outside wall of your house then ? |
|
| |
I like it but...my dog would probably lose her mind. |
|

You can always give her yours, you don't need it ..... |

What this needs is a good neologism. How about 'transsonant', with a nicely venomous hiss in the middle? |
|
| |
Just because I am not currently using it doesn't automatically indicate a lack of need. |

The case for the prosecution rests, M'Lud. |

Wouldn't a double-glazed screen-door be cheaper than all this microphone malarky? |
|

I made a 4 layer polyethelene door, each layer 3/4" apart, stretched taut around an inner then outer frame of 5 cm dia. PVC pipe. That's when I got hip to the outside sounds while still enjoying decent insulation.
But a lousy see-thru. |
|
| |
When it opened and closed it made a nice toooonngg.
And the rounded edges were welcome. Why aren't doors made with soft rounded edges? |

Bird crashes into the window, wakes the dog, who runs howling through the polyethylene screen door. |
