The introduction of MORE NOISE into the CRC in an effort to improve rest is farcical and ridiculous. White noise, simulated engine noise, equal amplitude opposite phase noise cancellation - these wonderful ideas all miss the critical point that
NOISE CAUSES FATIGUE. Click the link and read about it. What imbecile decided that MORE noise would be better?
Ok, let's try this again.
Problem
EK crew members are experiencing random noise due to location of CRC. Mistake is already made. So, we learn from it and correct it. No? What I am trying to do hear is come up with solutions.
Possible Solutions
1. Insulate room (Already ruled out...)
2. Move CRC (Not practical at this stage)
3. Earplugs, Headsets etc...(Simple and effective)
4.
Noise cancelling audio system (More elaborate but effective)
Here's how it (4) would work (from an engineering point of view):
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) - Block Diagrams, Reference Designs and Recommended Products
With this system audio levels will be reduced (LOW db levels). You won't be HEARING anything! The idea isn't farcical or ridiculous. It's the engineering/scientific solution to the problem.
