A study published in Ecological Applications led by Professor John Swaddle, visiting Research Associate at the University of Exeter, found that filling a controlled area with
acoustic noise around an airfield, where the majority of collisions tend to take place, can reduce the number of birds in the area by 80 per cent.
Applications: Sonic cloaks could steer sound waves
around beams and columns in a concert hall to give every seat perfect
acoustics, or block the
noise pollution from that chatty coworker in a neighboring cubicle.

Increased dashboard insulation helps to reduce the level of engine
noise in the cabin by
around 4 %, aided by general improvements to the
acoustic refinement of most engines in the range.
Scripps Institution of Oceanography researcher Dr. John Hildebrand talked about how
acoustic monitoring can be used to study marine mammals and shipping
noise around the Channel Islands at the March «From Shore to Sea» lecture.
