Too funny! I haven't posted here in quite a while, but I figured I'd post that link, and I'm glad I decided to check to see if anyone else did first. Thanks. Interesting stuff.
Check out this quote:
"...a material that consists of arrays of tiny cylinders would achieve this effect."
Tiny cylinders? It's like a teeny tiny Quick No-Sound Field.
Of course, the noisy neighbor problem could also be solved with just one cylinder... a lead pipe. But I digress...
I still read this forum. Great questions. Great answers. Thanks everybody.
