"Part of me really enjoys the buzz of the city, but I also worry about the [human] noise that buzz overpowers and makes inaudible".
As musicians, the sextet – expanded to seven on-stage, with the addition of a chap at the back making inaudible beats on a sampler – can't be faulted: the songs are powered by a rhythm section as tight as a soul revue's, and keyboard fills inspired by Billy Preston's futuristic 1970s funk.

Frequency masking (FM) (or simultaneous masking) is a dual phenomenon to TM, where a sound is made inaudible by a "masker", a noise of the same duration as the original sound.
TM is often referred to as nonsimultaneous masking (part of auditory masking), where sudden stimulus sound makes inaudible other sounds which are present immediately preceding or following the stimulus.
The hysterical calls delegitimizing Israel at every turn, strident and loud and insane, have made inaudible the still small voice that speaks with truth.
A masker may be simultaneous, as when a signal is made inaudible by a competing sound of equal duration, or it may precede (forward masking) or follow the signal (backward masking).
Bercow is usually fastidious about MPs' titles – in July he rebuked the Foreign Secretary, Philip Hammond, for addressing the veteran Labour MP Sir Gerald Kaufman as an "Honourable Gentleman" when he should have called him a "Right Honourable Gentleman" – but when addressing Sir Simon Burns, the Speaker either omits the title "Sir" or swallows the word so as to make it inaudible.
Wonder Woman: Masking sight and sound Her personal jet is invisible to the eye, so why not make it inaudible using the latest experimental sound-cloaking technology.
As a child, I would run my hands through a patch of touch-me-nots by the sidewalk, and in my imagination I'd hear them make an inaudible squeal in concert as they folded up their leaves and went into hiding.
