The strength of Sono is not that it can cancel out obnoxious ambient noises, but can still filter pleasant ambient noises through. The device employs concentric broadband antenna rings, and can be charged through WiFi signals or the standard electric outlet, so your noise shield won’t unceremoniously lower in the middle of the night.


With Sono, you can stick the device right on your window, and fiddle with some settings to either cancel out noise entirely, or cancel out the specific noises that are drowning out the peaceful ones. You could put on some noise-canceling headphones, but then you’ll have a huge pair of headphones tying you down music doesn’t do the job white noise does, either. If not for the constant stream of cars and barking dogs, the soothing sounds of chirping birds and the wind rustling through trees would make its way across the street and into your bedroom. However, in front of that park is a major metropolitan road, host to loud traffic throughout the day. You live in a corner apartment, and your one, meager window faces a beautiful, serene park. A new device that sticks onto your window, Sono, will not only cancel real-world noise, but isolate the noises you’d prefer to hear, if any. A white noise machine can help, but in the end it’s still electronic noise, and unless you can afford a fancy sound system, the noise often sounds unnatural. If you’re the sort that needs peace and quiet to get anything done, escaping the noise pollution of every day life - regardless of where you’re located - is no easy task.
