Note, this is a fine example of a journalist exagerating what the inventor
claimed.

The inventor, even if correctly quoted, talked about stable
predictable noises in defined areas.  His "other software" is pie
in the sky.

Such things may work in stable environments where the listener
does not move much.  However the phase cancelation will be
predictable only over a relatively small area.  This has to do
with the wave length of sound waves in normal air.  If the phase
cancelation works at point A, it will not work a few feet away.

Journalists should stick to reporting and not "just imagining."
most of them do not have the knowledge to get it correct.
