I'd say that the music is reproduced by an analog device in the end, the speaker. The audio may be stored in digtal form. But a lot of sources are still analog, radio, tv, vcr.big_bertha said:it is relatively simple to cancle out audio from a speaker outputting music since it is digitally reproduced and is very basic in nature.
Or a slightly bigger box filled with dampening material around the PC. It will feel pretty "truely supressed" if you do it right, and it won't kill your wallet.big_bertha [/i][B]true vibratioinal audio is alot more complex and is not reproduced well on speakers (enter the whole dvd audio thing that is trying to fix that)[/B][/QUOTE] I belive that speakers would qualify as an "true vibratioinal audio" device. It shuffles back and forth said:if you wanted a true noise supression system in the room you would need about $5000 of speakers all within different ranges ie 20 - 120 hz then a midrange at 110 to 1500 hz, etc, etc, etc
If there isn't too much square wave into the audio spectrum I don't think you need anything really special speakerwize. I still havent heard any computer sounding more annoying than listening to square wave tones. THAT is a murder on the mind.. (at least my mind)big_bertha said:the regular 3 range speakers will not work since there is way too much info to convey with that setup. you need more like 5-7 bridges.
As big_bertha pointed out, there is the actual sound from the fan spinning + air hissing. Then there is also a sound that is created by fan vibrations interacting with the motherboard and case.Mr.DLucey said:I was thinking of only trying to cancel the noise from the CPU fan not every sound the computer creates. I was thinking the fan spins at a constant speed and puts out a fairly constant sound. How can I sample that sound and reproduce it out of phase 180 to quiet it down. Not like 100 percent perfect, like 60 or 70 percent. Is it possible and not cost to much. Like $100 or less.
