It can also be done by a simple phase inversion on 180 degrees and playing the sound to intersect the originating wave. That's not the point - it's just that I found the sentence construction and semantic highy amusing - so I put it up :)  <A></A><A></A>Posted by<A><B> </B></A><a HREF="http://loneroad.blogspot.com" TITLE="" rel="nofollow">AC</A> That’s fine.

Where the one box gives a plus wave gives the other box an identical minus wave, which together = 0. This technique is used to make cars more silent for example.  <A></A><A></A>Posted by<A><B> </B></A><a HREF="http://loneroad.blogspot.com/2005/05/perplexing-sentence-of-day.html#comments" TITLE="temposchlucker at mail dot com" rel="nofollow">temposchlucker</A> If you hear the same sound (=mono) thru two boxes with a phasedifference of 0.5 the sound wipes itself out.

Try this one: "The noncentral chi-squared distribution is given by [insert complex derivation here] where I(x) is a modified Bessel function of the first kind and F1 is a regularized confluent hypergeometric limit function." You'll believe it when you see it?
