Above is a picture of a prototype. The real thing will be prettier.

The Alterna™ Sound Muffler noise reduction ranges from 40% to 50%. Sound is measured in decibels (dB); Data is recorded on a half bell-shaped curve, and not linear. Our sound enclosure reduced a moderate blending noise from ~85dB to ~60dB / ~58dB using a Blendtec blender. Depending on the medium blended, and the blender brand make and model used, ice crushing noises for example have been measured at as high as 103dB to 105dB. As per Osha, 105dB exposure for a period of 10 minutes requires employers to supply a hearing protection to their employees.

Why would you not want to protect your own hearing, that of your customers', your family's hearing, and your neighbor's privacy? There may also be benefits of a blender sound enclosure box for babies, and pregnant women. Dogs and other pets often times get irritated at the least, but can also suffer from extended loud noises such as like from blenders, coffee grinders, and other kitchen appliances and food processors. Extended and/or frequent noise exposure by blenders can lead to ear ringing or tinnitus.
