Is there a gadget to reduce the sound of television studio audience noise?
The cacophonous squawks of audience laughter – especially the inevitable sound of a single fool whose squeaky titter overrides everything else – is one that irritates many of us. But it’s a problem probably best tackled through people power, rather than technology: take to your keyboards and let the producers know. If it’s got to the point where you’re in danger of throwing a vase at the TV, I’ve got only one remedy: turn down the volume to a manageable level and watch with the subtitles on. ยท Email your problems to gadget.clinic@guardian.co.
