| Nov 23, 2020 at 1:36 | comment | added | Alexei Levenkov | I think you are trying to invent non-electronic active noise cancelling... At least to verify plausibility of this you can buy some headphones that do that electronically... (But on other hand you seem to believe that whatever you want to achieve does not exist at all - so quite possible my guess is way off - so edit may help to clarify that) | |

| Nov 21, 2020 at 5:50 | comment | added | alephzero | This is already true for must church pipe organs, because sound-producing pipes are high in the air and there is almost no direct sound to people who are "close" and almost underneath the instrument. In fact the organist can't hear what the music sounds like in the body of the building, because he/she is almost sitting "inside" the base of the instrument. | |

| Nov 20, 2020 at 19:25 | comment | added | Alexander | @Theexurbmm10a There are already answers suggesting that the sound may somehow be amplified at a greater distance - in some areas. But if you want the sound to be amplified in all directions, that's may be unrealistic. | |
| Nov 20, 2020 at 19:20 | comment | added | Theexurbmm10a | @Alexander Not at all, it doesn't necessarily have to be omnidirectional. What do you have in mind ? | |

| Nov 20, 2020 at 15:16 | comment | added | Theexurbmm10a | @MarvinKitfox Can you elaborate ? It sounds really complex and interesting. | |
| Nov 20, 2020 at 14:44 | comment | added | user79911 | Sort of possible, with constructive/destructive interference. But will not give soft/close vs loud/far pattern, instead a radial checkerboard of loud and soft zones. | |
| Nov 20, 2020 at 13:52 | comment | added | Theexurbmm10a | @JohnDallman Sure, I'm curious to see what you have in mind ! Although I was more specifically looking to make this sound plausible with the instrument alone but seeing as how it's most likely impossible why not. | |

| Nov 20, 2020 at 13:46 | comment | added | John Dallman | Making this sound plausible for an instrument alone is going to be really hard. Doing it for an instrument played inside a specially constructed building is more feasible; will that do? | |
