Škoda DuoBell uses dual frequencies to cut through noise-cancelling headphones

Hacker News·1mo·Škoda

Škoda's prototype bicycle bell combines low and high frequencies to penetrate active noise cancellation—a practical fix for a real safety problem. It's a clever hardware hack that treats the symptom of an increasingly dangerous street condition, though it sidesteps the thornier question of whether noise-cancelling earbuds belong on bikes at all.
