I just joined, and want to thank whoever does the approving, thank you.
I would like to know if the electronics in a pair of sound cancelling headphones could be tuned to cancel out specific frequencies, such as that of sirens. I realize that that something like that is not one frequency, but a range.
I know not one thing about electronics, beyond doing wire chasing, swinging a meter, and associated in my career of A&P mechanic, and even tackle stuff you guys might wish to avoid, like messing around with cannon plugs, because I tend to work on the older aircraft which used a lot of cannon plugs(potting one is FUN, NOT!).
Anyway, the reason for my question is that my wife's son moved in with us, along with his significant other and their child.
The child is very sensitive to sounds like that of sirens, and every time a fire truck or other like that is nearby singing its lovely song, she freaks out.
I am not aware if anything like this is available on the market, but even so, I'd like to try to mod out the afore said electronics, and would like to have the electronics, on both sides of her head, mounted in something like a pair of pretty sea shells, the story to give her is that she'd have pretty ear rings, just like mommy(she's around 5), and that each one would clip to the shell of the ear, like a blue tooth, but with a slightly different way to keep it on.
If something like this is not available, I think that this little girl is not the only child who has this type of aural sensitivity, so that perhaps I'd be able to help out more than a few more relatively soon(if you guys don't tell me I'm as full of stuff(yeah, that's the word, one useful in mixed company) because something like this is not possible, but I have a sneaky suspicion that it actually is).
