Riding a motorcycle at highway speeds inevitably entails the constant buzzing of pressurized air forcing its way through the helmet’s ventilation channels. Sena’s Intelligent Noise-Cancelling helmet promises to filter out the useless noise, while keeping the rider in touch with his surroundings.

Here's an interesting TED talk.
https://www.ted.com/talks/bernie_krause_the_voice_of_the_natural_world?utm_source=email&source=email&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ios-share
Article image

Bernie Krause has been recording wild soundscapes -- the wind in the trees, the chirping of birds, the subtle sounds of insect larvae -- for 45 years. In that time, he has seen many environments radically altered by humans, sometimes even by practices thought to be environmentally safe. A surprising look at what we can learn through nature's symphonies, from the grunting of a sea anemone to the sad calls of a beaver in mourning.
