I’m having the ridiculous idea of using speakers to cancel out tire noise of cars/trucks for people OUTSIDE of the car. Think of it like a speaker/microphone-combination, sitting directly at the source of the noise – at the wheels. Must be a really powerful speaker system, but since tire noises are mostly high pitched sounds, the diameter doesn’t have to be that big.

Gave away my billion dollar idea with this, but it probably wouldn’t work and I’m too lazy to develop it, anyways. Living in a world without street noise still would be definitely worth staying poor.
