Not a problem, anything for you guys.

"The work shows that an object can be hidden from sonar, and protected from incoming sound, but the same principles could be applied in the other direction - that is, containing or directing the sound within a space, for instance in soundproofing a studio or fine-tuning the acoustics of a concert hall."

Pretty surprised that most of you aren't curious about this.

I'm still pretty curios about this. Just not much about it and if its gonna be practical anytime soon.
