This Bicycle Bell Can Even Be Heard by People Wearing Noise-Cancelling Headphones because its 2026
“The unique Škoda DuoBell bicycle bell is a classic example of a completely analogue solution to a problem caused by digital innovation. Its ringing sound bypasses the noise-cancelling capabilities of modern headphones, which often isolate the wearer from outside noises all too well.”
LOL we need new solutions to 2026 world problems. I'm wondering if cars won't also need something like this fitted. ANC headphones and ear pods are definitely becoming more prevalent. Seems the low frequency used here, is something that ANC does not easily mask.
Although it is a frequency tone, bells have long been tuned for specific frequencies, so an analogue device can actually do this perfectly well.
