We should probably note that there may be safety concerns in having the top removed, for the unit and for the cat! I am not sure that it would lessen vibration effects. But there is plenty of room to try vibration dampening material pasted to the ...

I wonder how accurate we are at maintaining a level volume sense. Perhaps we are pretty good at it naturally. We tend to modulate our speech to what is comfortable for others to listen to, and we have a keen sense if someone is talking at above or...
