Boy oh boy has another Sunday just flown by. After doing my homework briskly and then watching the Steelers fall at the mighty hands of the patriots. I was quiet sullen throughout the rest of the afternoon. I need of some cheering up, I found no better way to put a smile on then to explore my secret passion of singing loudly in my room. Closing my door, I put on my noise-canceling headphones and began to belt out some songs from
High School Musical. "AHHHHHHH!", a scream came from someone. Why, it was that weekly epiphany.
Bose DOC! was trying to speak to me, telling me to stop singing for the sake of his own eardrums. "But
Bose DOC!" I exclaimed, "When I sing with my noise canceling headphones on, I imagine I'm the best singer alive!". That's when
Bose DOC! explained to me that, I merely thought I was the best singing, but because my headphones were noise canceling, I could not hear my own horrid voice. He explained that the headphones work by detecting unwanted noise from the environment. A circuit then creates a sound wave that is an inverted version of the noise wave, with peaks where the noise has troughs, and vice-versa. When this wave is played through the headphones, it destructively interferes with the unwanted ambient noise. WOW!
Bose DOC!, I never realized how terrible I was at singing. All this time I thought I was a rock-star. Thanks to
Bose DOC!, I not only learned how my headphones cancel out unwanted noise, I also realized that I should never try out for American Idol. Lesson of the week: Never Let Tom Brady sit in the pocket, or he'll find someone to throw too.
DOC! if you're reading this, I would like my $1 in a hundred pennies.
