Sleeping with reefer noise

My thought here is to get the Bose Headset with noise cancelling. Outside the headset is the microphone pickup. If you were electronic capable to solder in some leads and a jack so you could run a external microphone to the backside of the sleeper. Then I would use the inside of the headset set up some leeds of this to have rca 1/8 mini plug. Assuming you have a cd only player in your radio, go to walmart and get a tape cassette to cd interface (usually comes with a walkman cd player). You should now be able to use your trucks sound system to cancel the noise between what you hear inside and the back of the cab.

Never tried it, to poor to buy the stuff, but it seems good in theory. You could crank your stereo with anti noise and reduce or stop all noise for quiet slumber or adjust for distant noise from the reefer.

 

I actually sleep better with my refer running, I cant sleep if its too quiet!

 

I have a 2011 Great Dane with a Thermo-King Whisper quite unit.
They have made improvements as far as noise levels compared to the older units.
Agree,Not using the Cycle mode helps.
I am a light sleeper but after a while you get used to it.
Also running 900+ miles before crawling in the bunk helps....

 

I realized last night the Walmart adapter only works for the Casette radios, not other way around. So you would need some other way, or if your radio had alterante inputs. The Bose headset does nothing more than to create "anti" sound. Meaning that sound is a pulse, so if you generate a pulse of sound on other end of the wave the two, it will cancel each other out. The point of using your radio is that you can get more amplitude to cancel the sound.

Alas the Bose headset you must order online, as I have not seen it in any store. I have heard this is what they use on the interiors of luxury helicopter cabins.

 

Bose noise-cancelling headphones, while arguably the best in the industry, are not the only ones available. I have had a set for about eight years that were marketed by a number of different companies (including JVC) that were a fraction of the cost, but are very effective.

The Bose headphones (plus about 30 others, including N/C earbuds) are available at Best Buy and other electronics retailers.

 

Yes thank you. Be considerate ####. I had some AC issues this week and had to set my cruise to keep the truck around 1100-1300 so the AC would work so all week I slept on an on ramp so my fan kicking on wouldn't bother everyone.

 

Yeah my Columbia doesn't have a fan switch.
