Alex Braidwood spends a good bit of time researching "the relationship between people and the noise in densely populated environments." His Noisolation Headphones are intended to allow environmental noise into your listening space at various intervals to showcase how intrusive the sounds around you really are. The video shows it in action. It looks absolutely ridiculous but it's worth giving a little thought - how much environmental noise seeps into your every day listening (assuming you're a headphones wearer)? Do you go for Pink Noise?

Spend some time with his portfolio - lots of curious undertakings going on.
