Reducing Tyre Noise

New Ideas

Available for over a year

How and why researchers hope to reduce the noise produced by tyres on the road. Moving atoms with a ridiculously small toothbrush, timely warnings from the telephone and turning an idea into a product. This is a programme from the BBC World Service Archive and was originally broadcast in 1996.
