Opis zjawiska:

Interpretacje wyników:

Before they reach our ears, sounds propagate in the space around. The funnel, being closed to the watch, ‘catches’ faint sounds, which are then sent over the hose, which prevents propagation in the ambient space. The other funnel isolates the listener from disturbing external sounds.
