Abstract: Active noise control is becoming a practical way to quieten our environment, with, for example, interior trim panels in aircraft cabins that can react to and cancel out noise. Other automated acoustic systems can act as sound mirrors in the ocean, to probe currents and allow underwater communication; imitate the directional quality of different instruments; and even tell the difference between an oboe and a saxophone.
