This sound-suppressing silk can create quiet spaces
 https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/05/240507152457.htm

Summary:
 Researchers developed a silk fabric, which is barely thicker than a human hair,
 that can suppress unwanted noise and reduce noise transmission in a large room.

Cool idea!
Would shorting the output or loading it, moke the material more stiff, vibrate less?
