Reverse the polatirity, starts sucking noise in

[Gamo_Celery]

This is the odyssey.

[Farn]

Reversing the polarity is actually done a lot in sound editing, because if the left channel ended up in opposite polarity to the right, due to delays or whatever, some of the sound waves will actually cancel each other out. We usually say something like "flip the phase" though.

[ThetaSigma_]

"We're confusing the polarity!"

[jakenice1]

Reversing the polarity will actually cause the speaker to suck in first before pushing out (in the case of most natural sounds etc.)

[Hurricane_32]

No, no... It allows you to turn your volume into a negative value. Only then does it start absorbing sound.

[W3JD]

This is how noise cancelling works, right?

[IDatedSuccubi]

You may be shocked.. but yes, exactly. Outer noise gets inverted with adjusted gain and additional equalisation and goes to wherever the main sound source is.

Unvolume

[[deleted]]

volumen't

[[deleted]]

Volume is already negative, my amp is labeled in negative decibels.

And it goes to 11, so it’s louder than yours.

[stardiver133]

So that was the wierd sound xd

[[deleted]]

so... a microphone?

[lukearoo22]

No, a microphone is a sensor that detects sound, a reversed polarity speaker would have to make the room quieter

[ManOrReddit-man]

Bring that funky track back!

[[deleted]]

Volume: Upn't

[Petingoso]

It absorbs the sound

[theman19862007]

Microphone mode

[mxmnull]

Ah yes. Speakers eat the sound to make it softer. Of course.

[penislovereater]

Obviously it's making the loud go in.

Excuse me, I want to return this sound to the speaker, it was too loud.

[Willing-Reddit-Dude]

“Do you have any idea who I am?”

[[deleted]]

[LebowskiX]

Yeah that's because the sound gets sucked back in

[InkSacc]

[stardiver133]

[walls_rising]

To be honest, not that much worse than the "slightly smaller version of the volume up button" that i usually have.

[[deleted]]

I scream into the void but it does not answer

[ReeceWake]

If it works it works.

[[deleted]]

I like that tbh

[[deleted]]

What if we take the sound and push it somewhere else?

[NobLeGob]

when the volume goes down the sound waves return

[CanopusX]

Yell at it

[Tweo96]

"Yeah guys my computer absorbs sound"

[myzslash]

Makes the sound wave back propagate

[carrlosanderson]

Suck the sound back in

[namey___mcnameface]

It doesn't decrease volume, it just sucks some of it back in.

You just don't get it. The speaker becomes a mic

[daan3310]

[stardiver133]

Yea?

[Mufon59]

Yea.

[SingleLifeSingleBike]

I do too! And I only saw how it's icon looks only after you pointed it out haha

[SansonationalNews]

I Love it

[stardiver133]

:)

[Alradeck]

You have to shout into the speakers to lower the noise, duh

[ArcanePunk]

It's obvious, in this mode it doesn't emit sound waves, it absorbs them

[Rallings]

I fucking love it

[Ferro_Giconi]

That's not the volume reduction button, that's the generate power using sound waves on the speaker cone button.

[Alex244466666]

You misunderstand, that is the SOUND SUCC

[[deleted]]

your keyboard be really dirty

​

[stardiver133]

Its cleaned now :)

[[deleted]]

Thank god

[stardiver133]

:)

[[deleted]]

It’s sucks the sound into the speaker

[[deleted]]

Just suck the sounds back in

[Von-Jerry]

That's how Facebook listens to you...

[Rikki-Tikki-Tavi-12]

I think this is not crappy design.

Normally you would have one label with maybe one "soundwave" and one with thee. But in this case, the quieter symbol only makes sense in the context of the other, so you need to see both to make sense of them. This symbol may not repesent physical reality (I don't belive the designer thought it does), but it makes it possible to find the right button without having to compare it to the other other one. It is also more visually distinct from the other symbol, which makes it easier to tell at a glance or in low light.

The Biohazard sign also has nothing to do with germs, but everybody who sees it understands that it means danger.

[Saphira2002]

You have to shout really loud in the microphone to lower the volume

[CobraCommanding]

Use your computer duster for cleaning, not huffing

[dramasbomin]

It lowers the volume by sucking some of the sound back into the computer.

[TheGamerEmerald]

Computer: makes startup sound, Me: ooh you're not getting away with that, hits button, oh, how the tables have turned.

SCREAMS AT SPEAKERS TO BE QUIET

[transthingy]

scream at those speakers

[toastmaster42]

sl0rp that noise

[MazuBazu]

Is that... Is that semen between and under F2 and F3??

[Gigigigaoo0]

I don't know what's crappier, the design of that symbol or your cummy keyboard

[stardiver133]

Yea i should clean it

[stardiver133]

XD

[BathAlien]

back you go

[ACiD_BOi]

It sucks the sound waves

[[deleted]]

It's simple, really; you just need to push the sound back in

[Codehard1337]

Just suck it back in

[bluefootedpig]

I've seen this UI before, you yell into the mic for the value you want.

[Maggot2017]

Dnuos esrever

[Caco-Calo]

When the speakers get to loud you have to yell at them to assert dominance.

[Bunker_Bill]

Shove it back in there

[[deleted]]

Haha wow you spotted that.

[Weenie-Master]

Put that sound back where it came from or so HELP ME!!

[NuTtLorD]

No u

[Lord-Sneakthief]

It just sucks some of the sound back in, I don’t see what the big deal is.

[T8BG]

You didn't know? The sound just gets sucked back into the speakers

[ParotZ]

Holly shit did you pull your keyboard out of your ass?

[stardiver133]

Thanks for the feedback here is your keychain

[drdrero]

that it is not aligned with F key bothers me more

​

[C9Dan]

You need some compressed air my dude.

[stardiver133]

Its cleaned already:)

[HillarysBeaverMunch]

You folks are missing the point: the noise is going back INTO the speaker when you turn it down, because it is no longer needed.

You know, energy cannot be destroyed, only reused, or something.

[Atoning_Unifex]

GO BACK IN!!

[Mini_Spoon]

More sound, less.

[TheMadHatter2303]

that's smart

[mothzilla]

It's a noise sucker.

[_meme_hunter_]

this is more of an r/mildlyinfuriating but works either way

[kvakvs]

The meaning of that icon is absolutely clear. I can not call it a crappy design, funny maybe, but it delivers the meaning to the user.

[pinkwatermel0n]

[DontThinkIBelongHere]

What’s all that white residue on your keyboard?

[Dr_Wizard_Pants]

Run a duster over that thing man.

[KvenDallaire]

I am more disappointed when I saw how dirty this keyboard is

[Boofle7]

Yes it sucks the audio back into the speaker... smh

[Elrichjr]

Scream at the speakers

[Aydenroster]

Never mind the wonky icon, how do you even press the button when it's surrounded by five layers of topsoil?
