Skoda’s New Bike Bell Designed to Penetrate Noise-Canceling Headphones for Better Safety

Skoda has introduced the DuoBell, a mechanical bicycle bell created to be heard even through active noise-canceling (ANC) headphones.

Working with acoustic experts from the University of Salford, the car manufacturer developed this new bell to tackle a growing urban hazard: pedestrians who are so isolated by ANC technology that standard bells are ineffective.
