Indian damru vs Taiwan horn speakers: Thomas Cup uses noise to drum up support | Badminton News

Published by Webster

2 min readMay 1, 2026 02:47 PM IST Chou Tien Chen always has a one-person cheerleader in his coach’s corner chair. But Chinese Taipei are also travelling with their most labour-day of electronics- horn speakers used in factories or mines to signal shut ends. Except, this has a pre-recorded chant that keeps going between points, to keep the cheering levels high. Thomas Cup quarterfinals are not the best time for team members especially scheduled to play, to waste energy screaming. The arena has modest partisan support for either Taiwan or India and many empty chairs with sparse flag waving crowds. But the noise has been drummer up using an assortment of noise producing objects. There’s the pre-taped horns that are held aloft and keep going. Then there’s hand fan rattles and cones that are struck against each other to create a din. Lakshya Sen was 18-16 up in first singles, before Chou Tien Chen rode the frenzy with accurate point construction, using drops to take the first step. For India, the team has carried hand …

Sound effect: Farmers play music on solar-powered speakers to keep tigers at bay in Pilibhit

Sound effect: Farmers play music on solar-powered speakers to keep tigers at bay in Pilibhit

Published by Parlour News

Pilibhit , Farmers living in villages adjoining the Mala range of Pilibhit Tiger Reserve have devised an unusual method to keep tigers away from their fields during sugarcane harvesting – playing loud music on solar-powered sound systems. Sound effect: Farmers play music on solar-powered speakers to keep tigers at bay in Pilibhit According to the farmers, the continuous noise helps deter wild animals from entering their fields. As sugarcane fields are dense and the visibility is low, the risk of sudden encounters with tigers remains high during the harvesting season. Forest officials described the initiative as a “desi jugaad” that not only enhances safety but also adds an element of entertainment, with loud music echoing across the fields during work hours. The method has emerged as a unique way to check human-animal conflict. Ramnagaria, Ajitpur, Jamunia, Mahua, Mala Ghera, Richhola and Basantapur are among the villages located close to the Mala range that frequently witness tiger movement, keeping the residents on edge. Recently, fresh tiger pugmarks were found in a field in Mahua. According to …

The Steam Frame has two speakers on each side of your face for vibration cancellation

The Steam Frame has two speakers on each side of your face for vibration cancellation

Published by Webster

In its new Steam Frame VR headset, Valve put dual audio drivers on each side in the included head strap. That puts the audio near your ears while you’re wearing it, and in my brief time trying the device at Valve’s headquarters recently, I thought the sound was just fine. But the choice to have those dual drivers also helps reduce audio vibrations, which helps the headset with tracking while you’re playing games in VR, Valve hardware engineer Jeremy Selan tells The Verge. The Frame, like many other VR headsets, uses outward-facing cameras built into the main part of the headset for tracking. However, audio with good bass “induces vibrations into the headset,” which can affect that tracking, according to Selan. But on the Frame’s included head strap, the dual drivers per side are “mounted opposite to each other,” which creates “vibration cancellation inherent in the design.” That allows for “better tracking, even with good audio,” Selan says. Pretty cool! The headset is modular, too, so theoretically, you might be able to use other head …

This modern cassette boombox will lure you in with glowing VU meters

This modern cassette boombox will lure you in with glowing VU meters

Published by Webster

We Are Rewind, a Paris-based company that has relaunched the cassette player with modern features like support for wireless headphones and rechargeable batteries, has announced a larger boombox version. Streamlining the design of the portable stereos that were popular in the ‘80s, the €449 (around $500 USD) GB-001 can function as a Bluetooth speaker and stream audio from a mobile device. But its most appealing feature is its ability to play and record to cassettes, potentially reviving the mixtape for another generation. The GB-001’s cassette deck mechanism features a user-adjustable motor with internal speed regulation for accurate playback. It also has a “noise reduction circuit” that emulates Dolby B so it can properly play tapes recorded using that older noise reduction system without any loss in sound quality. It can record on tapes, too, from external sources that include a wired microphone or a pair of mics connected wirelessly over Bluetooth. The GB-001 has four speakers — two “powerful woofers for extended bass response” paired with two “soft dome tweeters for refined voices and treble.” …

Eight Sleep adds a pricey blanket and speakers to its Pod 5 sleep system

Eight Sleep adds a pricey blanket and speakers to its Pod 5 sleep system

Published by Webster

Eight Sleep is launching the Pod 5, the fifth generation of its expensive smart sleeping system. It packs two main upgrades: a temperature-controlled blanket and speakers that can play “soothing soundscapes.” The Pod 5 builds on top of Eight Sleep’s existing tech, shipping with the same temperature controlled mattress cover and height-adjustable base that Eight Sleep says helps to reduce snoring. The new blanket complements the cover by syncing up with it, delivering the same water-powered cooling and warming range of 55 to 110 Fahrenheit, but now from all around you. Just like the existing cover, you can set different temperatures on each side of the bed to avoid midnight squabbles. The other big addition is a set of surround-sound speakers integrated into the updated base. Eight Sleep has worked with neuroscientist and podcaster Andrew Huberman on a set of Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) guided meditations “for achieving deep relaxation and restorative states.” There’s also a selection of white noise and other calming sounds, which can be set to turn off once you fall asleep, …

Razer’s Clio is a 0 surround sound head cushion

Razer’s Clio is a $230 surround sound head cushion

Published by Webster

Powered by a 5,400mAh battery that Razer says is good for up to 14 hours of use, the Clio uses adjustable straps to attach to “most high-back gaming and office chairs” so that it’s positioned directly behind your head. Inside each of the cushion’s angled wings is a near-field speaker that uses a 43-millimeter driver paired with a passive radiator that work together to deliver “crisp, clear trebles and deep, punchy bass you can hear and feel.” The Clio speaker wirelessly connects to Bluetooth-compatible devices like smartphones, tablets, and handheld consoles, but is also compatible with Razer’s HyperSpeed Wireless protocol for a low-latency connection to a gaming PC. Support for THX Spatial Audio creates a more immersive listening experience when using the Clio on its own, but it can be paired with additional desktop speakers and used as a dedicated rear channel as part of a larger 7.1 surround sound setup. The Razer Basilisk Mobile mouse weighs in at 76 grams and “boasts a compact, ergonomic design” designed to slip into pockets or squeeze into …
