This could be useful, actually its like the "Get Smart" cone of silence.

If you are a noisy workshop you could work through the night without waking the neighbours

Imagine a room where a band is playing and the neighbours can't hear the music, but if someone outside the room is talking, the musicians can hear it. The concept - a kind of one-way mirror for sound - seems imaginary, but two Italian scientists recently pushed this kind of sound manipulating technology closer to reality.

One-way sound walls proven possible
