sound masking device theme

A system that can selectively filter out some sounds in a recording. This was pure sci-fi in the 60s but nowadays you can purchase a pair of noise canceling headphones at your local electronics store.

Examples

The Enterprise computer was employed to mask out the sound of heartbeats of all known personal aboard in tos1x14 "Court Martial".
