NoiseRevenge uses laser beams to transmit sound to exact locations

StartupRealities No 157

NoiseRevenge is a sound technology company which produces patented sound transmission devices that beam sound with a laser beam to an exact location. This allows users to utilise the device to punish inconsiderate neighbours who play loud music. The advantage of the NoiseRevenge technology is that the sound is delivered and released at a chosen location, rather than being heard in the entire space from source to destination in the normal way that sound waves spread.

TECHNOLOGY
NoiseRevenge uses the photoacoustic effect: when water vapour present in the air absorbs light from a laser beam, it forms sound waves. The quality of the sound is not particularly high but can still be encoded sufficiently to differentiate it from noise. A unique part of this technology is that the sound will only be heard at a given distance from the transmitter.

CEO QUOTE
"We bring civilisation to neighbourly relations with our new sound technology. There is no longer a need to put dog shit through the letter box of the noisy neighbours. All you need to do is buy the NoiseRevenge transmitter and use it on the noisy neighbours whenever they start playing loud music in the garden annoying everybody else. The sound that you can transmit to them can be varied for maximum effect: from the noise of an airplane taking off to Alpine yodelling. They will soon realise who has the upper hand in sound technology," said NoiseRevenge founder and CEO Noire Revener.
