  • @JohnM3D It's not a pattern - it's the users speech sliced up, multiplied, and delayed. It creates the effect of white noise like the dull roar of a crowded restaurant. This actually keeps the part of our brain that tries to understand speech around us from kicking in, and so the masking becomes background noise

  • ...but being HM the neat company it is, maybe they even researched for the "least-annoying / best sound obscuring" pattern. =)

  • Vvery creative idea. Japanese did something similar for toilet use. An electronic "flushing sound" used to save water, so that people would not be flushing for real while trying to disguise certain "natural" sounds.

    If there was nothing like Babble for office use (which I've never seen) I can see it reach cult status in offices, just like Areon, and expect it to be shown in some comic movie part. My only gripe is that I think it's gonna be very annoying if overused, stressing for people around.
