New York Representative Pete King wants the US to have a law that requires all cameraphones make noise when they take a picture. It’s not unheard of. Japan and South Korea already have similar laws. In his quest for cameraphone sound King has re-introduced the “Camera Phone Predator Alert Act,” , which sounds very urgent and dramatic.

They tried it first in 2007, but it died. The idea behind the bill is to prevent people from taking cameraphone pictures without other people knowing. That’s what the sound is all about. It would sound off and be “audible within a reasonable radius” and you would not be able to disable it.

The iSound, designed by Seohyun Baek, is a set of headphones that lets you to listen to your mp3 player while still hearing the background noise around you. That’s a pretty handy thing, especially when that background noise is oncoming traffic. Old headphones=death, these=you live to get hit on another day. They use a semi-circular design that doesn’t cover your whole ear, that way some background noise is still heard. The unit is wireless with a bluetooth module that connects to the headphone jack in your mp3 player. Excellent concept that will surely find a market.

THX has more uses then just making a starship battle sound awesome you know. That’s why THX has partnered with Serious Materials to develop some new sound proof doors. The QuietHome soundproof doors are the 2 1/4-inch thick THX-certified doors that claim to be a full 85% acoustical improvement over any other sound proof doors.

How does it work? QuietHome Doors incorporate Serious’ proprietary viscoelastic polymer-based constrained layer damped system, a multi-layer design and advanced seals throughout the door edge. The doors are made up of stainable wood, and come in a pre-hung door package. You wouldn’t want to just replace your front door with it. Well, maybe you would if you are super loud. Your neighbors would appreciate it. But it’s designed for high-end home theaters, commercial studios, offices and conference rooms etc. The doors will cost you $2,500 and will block out so much sound your neighbors will think the place is vacant.

Not sure how your party is going? Maybe you are too drunk to notice. Just consult with the Party Timer to figure out what type of party it is! When you’re going about your daily activities, it acts like a regular clock. When the tunes start pumping that changes, as it goes into party mode.

Based on noise levels, it will classify your party as a Romantic Party, Talking Party, Lite Party, Music Party, Dance Party, Club Party, Mega Party and if you can hear yourself above the noise, you’ll want to announce an Atomic Party, when the noise levels are dangerously above 161db. Dude, this party is atomic!
