This sound-suppressing silk can create quiet spaces


These smart people at MIT may have found something that has possibilities for audio applications.  I'll take a couple of bolts of this.

Some what like windscreens used in open top cars. Similar applications can be applied elsewhere in audio. Imagination applies.

A wind screen like that in a convertible when placed behind your listening chair along with a low speed fan whose blades are treated with natural low shear materials will increase laminar flow in and around your listening space. Result is better everything. TomD

Titanium and rhodium are both high velocity materials and make the sound much more reflective. Cryo treatment would make those 2 materials more linear but still way to bright. Silk by nature is very low shear and low velocity.
