Everyone hates noise. The worst is probably the sound from car alarms going off in the street which people usually just ignore, anyway. Now imagine if you can sound proof your home. No more problems with the neighbors playing loud music, nor any complaints about your TV being too loud. Or maybe you just want to sound proof one room in the house to keep the sound in and the noise out.
Now think about all the external noise when traveling in your car. All that unnecessary honing and racket coming from other cars is a distraction.

Yoel Naor, CEO of Silentium, commented: “We welcome new partners that share the same passion for acoustics and see the value in enhancing privacy and wellbeing through personal sound spaces. With this new investment, we will scale up the development and roll-out of our Active Acoustics software solutions for vehicle manufacturers and automotive suppliers – especially as NVH requirements evolve in the new era of electric and autonomous mobility.”
Silentium has a solid R&D background in acoustic field analysis and in Active Noise Control specifically. The company has registered patents in Active Noise Control.
