Technical

Noise Braker®

It is an axiom of physics that we cannot create or destroy energy.We can however, convert it. The Noise Braker Filterconverts sonic

energy into thermal energy by means of compression acceleration.

The rise in temperature is so minute you will never notice it. You can still hear

but a dangerous level of sound can not possibly get through the filter.

No sounds over 80dB will pass through the filter.
