Hearing Beyond Barriers

In environments where sound must be captured through solid barriers like walls, windows, or sealed enclosures, conventional microphones simply fail. Microphones rely on airborne sound, rendering them ineffective when the source is physically separated by materials that block or distort acoustic transmission. This article describes an approach based on structure-borne sound acquisition, combining surface-attached vibration sensors with advanced digital signal processing.
