  2. Electromagnetically induced acoustic noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetically...

    The hissing of high voltage transmission lines is due to corona discharge, not magnetism. The phenomenon is also called audible magnetic noise, [1] electromagnetic acoustic noise, lamination vibration [2] or electromagnetically induced acoustic noise, [3] or more rarely, electrical noise, [4] or "coil noise

  3. Microwave auditory effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_auditory_effect

    Foster said that because of human biophysics, the device "would kill you well before you were bothered by the noise". According to former professor at the University of Washington Bill Guy, "There's a misunderstanding by the public and even some scientists about this auditory effect," and "there couldn't possibly be a hazard from the sound ...

  4. Noise-induced hearing loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-induced_hearing_loss

    As many as 2 million become so debilitated by the unrelenting ringing, hissing, chirping, clicking, whooshing or screeching, that they cannot carry out normal daily activities. [15] Tinnitus is the largest single category for disability claims in the military, with hearing loss a close second. [16]

  5. Hiss (electromagnetic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiss_(electromagnetic)

    Electromagnetic hiss is a naturally occurring Extremely Low Frequency/Very Low Frequency electromagnetic wave (i.e., 300 Hz – 10 kHz) that is generated in the plasma of either the Earth's ionosphere or magnetosphere.

  6. Hearing loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_loss

    tinnitus, ringing, buzzing, hissing or other sounds in the ear when no external sound is present vertigo and disequilibrium tympanophonia , also known as autophonia, abnormal hearing of one's own voice and respiratory sounds, usually as a result of a patulous (a constantly open) eustachian tube or dehiscent superior semicircular canals

  7. Noise gate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_gate

    A noise gate is used when the level of the "signal" is above the level of the unwanted "noise". The threshold is set above the level of the "noise", and so when there is no main "signal", the gate is closed. A common application is with electric guitar to remove hum and hiss noise caused by distortion effects units. A noise gate does not remove ...

  8. White noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_noise

    Such a signal is heard by the human ear as a hissing sound, resembling the /h/ sound in a sustained aspiration. On the other hand, the sh sound /ʃ/ in ash is a colored noise because it has a formant structure. In music and acoustics, the term white noise may be used for any signal that has a similar hissing sound.

  9. Noise-cancelling headphones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-cancelling_headphones

    Simplified graphical depiction of active noise reduction. To cancel the lower-frequency portions of the noise, noise-cancelling headphones use active noise control.A microphone captures the targeted ambient sounds, and a small amplifier generates sound waves that are exactly out of phase with the undesired sounds.
