1
00:00:03,759 --> 00:00:09,559
and that is exactly what we're talking

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:13,960
about sound dampening but does sound dampening really have a role in our

3
00:00:11,719 --> 00:00:19,840
daily lives well if you spend any time in a house apartment or car it

4
00:00:17,119 --> 00:00:24,599
definitely does so sound travels in waves of pressure that can both go

5
00:00:22,279 --> 00:00:29,199
around and reflect off of objects and there are three main ways that we deal

6
00:00:26,519 --> 00:00:33,800
with unwanted sound the first is distance sound waves don't travel

7
00:00:31,759 --> 00:00:37,200
forever as you can observe if you're trying to hear your friend across a

8
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:40,079
baseball field and you can't quite tell whether he wants you to throw the ball

9
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:46,039
for a double play or a permission to date your sister the second is using

10
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:50,600
active anti-noise generators also known as noise cancellation which you can

11
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:56,160
learn more about here the third is by reflecting and or absorbing unwanted

12
00:00:54,039 --> 00:01:01,039
sound using different shapes and materials so for this example let's say

13
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:05,479
that sound is like a rubber ball if you throw it at a concrete floor it'll

14
00:01:03,239 --> 00:01:10,320
bounce and reflect off in another Direction but if you throw it at

15
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:12,240
something like a bed of pillows most of

16
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:17,479
the energy from the ball will be absorbed a more comprehensive solution

17
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:21,759
is a combination of the two with soft shapes designed to both reflect and

18
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:27,360
absorb sound and this is usually found in spaces like recording studios where

19
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:30,119
sound isolation is extremely important

20
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:34,000
there are even spaces so well isolated or sound proofed for special

21
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:37,520
applications that people have trouble spending a long period of time in them

22
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:43,280
claiming that the sound of their own heartbeat became frustratingly loud

23
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:47,000
yikes but since most of us probably don't live in recording studios or

24
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,880
soundproof Chambers for scientific research how exactly does sound

25
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:56,360
dampening really affect us in day-to-day life well sound proofing is actually

26
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:59,159
used in lots of things cars use sound

27
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:02,799
dampening in mufflers and resonators so we don't all sound like race cars in

28
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:07,680
traffic except for that one guy who lives on my block and they also use

29
00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:12,080
insulating layers to reduce the sound made by traveling down the interstate

30
00:02:09,879 --> 00:02:16,760
Nissan actually built an electric car that was so quiet that the sounds of air

31
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:21,000
moving over the car were discomforting to passengers and to solve this they

32
00:02:19,239 --> 00:02:26,599
actually had to make specially shaped headlights to deflect air around the car

33
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:31,800
reducing noise and making that a method of sound dampening houses of course have

34
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:36,920
insul in the walls to help with climate control but also to assist with keeping

35
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:41,800
unwanted sounds out many modern houses use Windows made of multiple separated

36
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:45,680
layers with airspace in between to help them absorb sound and to prevent heat

37
00:02:43,879 --> 00:02:49,959
transfer and if that's not enough there are actually special kinds of drywall

38
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:54,280
and even glue that you can buy so your living room won't sound like an echoey

39
00:02:51,959 --> 00:02:58,400
Cavern when someone upstairs scoots a chair around many businesses actually

40
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:02,760
use special panels in the ceilings to help absorb unwanted sound which is

41
00:03:00,519 --> 00:03:08,360
important for privacy reasons as well as just general workplace comfort and

42
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:13,200
speaking of the office we can also use computer cases with sound dampening foam

43
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:19,319
built right into them to block out the noise from cooling fans so then what's

44
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:24,000
next remember those three main ways to dampen sound well soon there may

45
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:28,159
actually be a fourth scientists are using quantum mechanics to produce new

46
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:33,040
materials for sound dampening that would allow for the redirection of sound

47
00:03:30,599 --> 00:03:37,200
across a material surface without allowing any vibrations to travel

48
00:03:35,239 --> 00:03:41,760
through it that means in the future it may take much less material to isolate a

49
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:47,239
space and it could potentially be used to reduce noise pollution in things like

50
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:51,319
busy cities airfields and even the

51
00:03:47,239 --> 00:03:53,519
trains that are right next to our studio

52
00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:59,480
speaking of not needing as much mass to absorb sound Mass drop has another one

53
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:03,239
of their pretty killer deals going on today today the featured deal today is

54
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:10,159
an LG 3494 very similar to this 34in ultrawide

55
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:14,400
flat panel that I reviewed way back about a year ago the cool thing though

56
00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:19,160
is that unlike that one this one can be had for as little as

57
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:21,799
649 through Mass drop if it reaches the

58
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:26,080
lowest price of course this product is available only through Mass drop at the

59
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:29,919
significantly discounted price thanks to their group by model which the way it

60
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:33,280
works is essentially the community is like hey there's a bunch of us who want

61
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:37,600
to buy this thing and mup goes hey that's cool they go to authorized

62
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:41,800
distributors or to the manufacturer themselves and they negotiate a price

63
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:47,400
and then the more people actually commit and put money down the lower the price

64
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:53,080
drops and they've got tons of other items everything from knives to uh

65
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:58,479
computer hardware to keyboards to audio equipment filming equipment lots of

66
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:01,000
great stuff so head over to draw do/
