Strings & Machines engineers are leaders in the science of psychoacoustics and the battle against traffic noise on the West Coast of the United States. Using principles of precedence and masking, Strings & Machines can design an environment for your outdoor space that helps to recast your experience. While complete cancellation of the offending sound is not possible, the existence of a Strings & Machines outdoor soundscape can mitigate the effects and lead to increased enjoyment of your space.

Strings & Machines is specifically working on solutions for homes in the flight path of airports, using boundary layer microphones and advanced DSP analysis to detect the approach of an aircraft, and sprinkle waves of sound across the garden, turning the negative noise pollution association of the plane into a positive one. Your guests will smile, enjoy the always-different moment of sound art, and return to their cocktails. Noise Mitigation Portfolio.
