Felted Household Appliances

Some artists make cute little felted things - but not French designer Lise Lefebvre: for her art thesis project, titled "The aesthetics of domestic sound," she created a series of "acoustical skin" - basically covers for household appliances and tools to muffle the sound!

The loudest thing in my house is the fridge (damn you Fisher & Paykel).

I don't know that it's stupid so much as it's not really needed. These days, most household appliances are made to run more quietly. If you own something made within the last decade, like a dishwasher, for example, it's very likely that noise isn't going to be a huge issue to begin with.

That's stupid. I know a guy who designs acoustic dampeners for a living. Real original.
