Hi, my name is Eric La Force, and I have been working on a new product idea with my twin brother Keith. While we think it would be helpful in our own lives, I wanted to post to determine if others can evaluate the concept and weigh in on whether or not there is a market before we invest more time. If there are additional applications for the idea we'd love to hear about it.
In my house, we have a real problem with noise, especially now that I am working from home every day. I wear noise-canceling headphones, but there are times when I can not or do not feel like wearing them. The ambient noise can be distracting while trying to focus. In addition, noise is a problem for my youngest child (1-year-old). The toddlers are constantly waking her up. My wife and I use white noise sound machines, but they have to be turned pretty loud to be effective and even that sometimes does not work.
In order to solve these problems, my brother and I put together a proof of concept to build a noise reduction system for a residential size room combining white noise and active noise cancellation algorithms. We have a working proof of concept, but it definitely needs work before I would call it a prototype, much less an MVP. Before we invest more time in the idea, is this a pain point worth solving?
