The innovation from a Japanese food firm, Nissin Food, has developed a noise-cancelling fork to take the socially awkward "slurp" away from eating noodles. Eating noodles is a favorite food for some kind of people especially Japanese, they usually eat noodles with slurp sound which is disturbing for another people. They think eating with sounds is impolite and it looks weird when you did it, but why Japanese usually does it? They reasons are because of the flavor and the enjoyable itself, if you eat noodles with slurp sounds, the noodles taste delicious and you can more enjoy it.
Because the differences of their thought, Nissin Food Product develops a tool that minimized the noise sounds named a noise-cancelling fork. The fork itself is 4.4cm wide and 15.2cm long and uses a microphone to detect offending slurps, which then triggers a smartphone app to "mask" the sound. Users can judge for themselves whether the chosen sound of "soothing, flowing water" emitted by their phone is any less embarrassing than a slurp. The gadget is only going to be made available if a target quota of 5,000 pre-orders is hit by mid-December.
