- A dynamic noise masking solution

The goal is to create a software package that could run on any home computer system, interfaced with a microphone placed outside of the room for receiving noise signals and calibrated speakers inside of the room responsible for outputting custom sound masks that will cover up the environmental noise. SoundShield users would be able to simply run the software on their own personal computer to immerse themselves in their work, rest, conversation, or whatever task they may want to stay focused on, without being disrupted by noise intruding from outside of the room. The solution would achieve this by automatically adjusting the intensity levels and frequency content of the noise mask being played so that it matches that of the noise outside of the room, rendering that noise imperceptible to the user.
