And what&#8217;s even more incredible, the brand has decided not to gatekeep the tech but instead give it away to the world for free, to make our world a safer place.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps ironically, despite \u0160koda being a car brand, and driving and cycling often being at odds with each other, the problem this bell solves isn&#8217;t one related to cars, but pedestrians.<\/p>\n<p>\u0160koda says pedestrian accidents have gone up by 30% in recent years, and attributes some of that increase to noise-cancelling headphones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Over recent years, noise-cancelling headphones have become prevalent, and it&#8217;s not uncommon for pedestrians to wear noise-cancelling headphones while walking on shared-use paths, crossing the road, or in many other walks of life.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-Lk8AV3SPQseXVWp6iHG2S5\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-Lk8AV3SPQseXVWp6iHG2S5 slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__header\">Get The Leadout Newsletter<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">The latest race content, interviews, features, reviews and expert buying guides, direct to your inbox!<\/p>\n<footer class=\"newsletter-form__footer \">By submitting your information you agree to the Terms &amp; Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over.<\/footer>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Among the noises cancelled by said headphones is the ding of a traditional bike bell, the polite &#8220;excuse me, on your right&#8221;, or perhaps the buzz of your noisy freehub as you coast up behind the newly oblivious jogger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Inside each pair of noise-cancelling headphones is a microphone and a computer chip with a clever algorithm. The microphone listens to ambient noise, and the algorithm flips the soundwave upside down, playing it back to you to effectively cancel out the soundwave when it reaches your eardrum.<\/p>\n<p>\u0160koda&#8217;s DuoBell exploits a weakness in said bell with a short, sharp sound that is the perfect frequency \u2013 750 hertz \u2013 to bypass over-ear headphones&#8217; foam padding, and is short enough that the algorithm isn&#8217;t able to process it and flip it before it&#8217;s over. They then added in a second frequency at 2000Hz, which people actually recognise as a bike bell, and DuoBell was born.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">In testing, the brand found that the DuoBell was consistently audible from 50 feet (15.24m) further away than traditional bells when wearing noise-cancelling headphones.<\/p>\n<p>What I love about this story the most, though, is that \u0160koda isn&#8217;t gatekeeping the technology for its own profit. It is instead just giving the science away to the world for free via an open-source whitepaper, in a bid to make our cities safer. Excellent stuff.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">That does mean you&#8217;ll have to wait a while until you see noise-cancelling bells in our best bike bells buying guide, though.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"block mb-5\" id=\"articleTag\" data-component-name=\"PostArticleLinks\" data-nosnippet data-mrf-recirculation=\"post-article-links\">\n<div class=\"border-b border-b-black border-solid py-2.5 text-black font-bold uppercase\">TOPICS<\/div>\n<nav class=\"py-2.5 flex gap-2.5 flex-wrap\" data-analytics-id=\"article-tag\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"article-tag\">\n<p>Tech<\/p>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"slice-container-authorBio-Lk8AV3SPQseXVWp6iHG2S5\" class=\"slice-container slice-author-bio authorBio-Lk8AV3SPQseXVWp6iHG2S5 slice-container-authorBio\">\n<div class=\"author author__default-layout author--separator author--collapsible\" data-hydrate=\"true\">\n<div class=\"author__header\">\n<div class=\"author__avatar-block\">\n<figure class=\"image-wrapped__wrapper\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"false\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__widthsetter\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__aspect-padding\">\n<div><source class=\"author__avatar image-wrapped__image image__image\" type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/V3GXEP85KSp9eSMY5JsYqd-140-80.jpg.webp 140w\" sizes=\"99vw\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/V3GXEP85KSp9eSMY5JsYqd.jpg\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/V3GXEP85KSp9eSMY5JsYqd.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/V3GXEP85KSp9eSMY5JsYqd.jpg\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-slice-image=\"true\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__heading\">\n<div class=\"author__name\">Josh Croxton<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__social\">\n<nav class=\"button-social-group author__social-buttons\" aria-labelledby=\"button-social-group- author__social-buttons\">\n<div id=\"button-social-group- author__social-buttons\">Social Links Navigation<\/div>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__role\">Associate Editor (Tech)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__bio-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"author__biography\">\n<p>Josh is Associate Editor of Cyclingnews \u2013 leading our content on the best bikes, kit and the latest breaking tech stories from the pro peloton.

And what&#8217;s even more incredible, the brand has decided not to gatekeep the tech but instead give it away to the world for free, to make our world a safer place.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps ironically, despite \u0160koda being a car brand, and driving and cycling often being at odds with each other, the problem this bell solves isn&#8217;t one related to cars, but pedestrians.<\/p>\n<p>\u0160koda says pedestrian accidents have gone up by 30% in recent years, and attributes some of that increase to noise-cancelling headphones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Over recent years, noise-cancelling headphones have become prevalent, and it&#8217;s not uncommon for pedestrians to wear noise-cancelling headphones while walking on shared-use paths, crossing the road, or in many other walks of life.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-Lk8AV3SPQseXVWp6iHG2S5\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-Lk8AV3SPQseXVWp6iHG2S5 slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__header\">Get The Leadout Newsletter<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">The latest race content, interviews, features, reviews and expert buying guides, direct to your inbox!<\/p>\n<footer class=\"newsletter-form__footer \">By submitting your information you agree to the Terms &amp; Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over.<\/footer>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Among the noises cancelled by said headphones is the ding of a traditional bike bell, the polite &#8220;excuse me, on your right&#8221;, or perhaps the buzz of your noisy freehub as you coast up behind the newly oblivious jogger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Inside each pair of noise-cancelling headphones is a microphone and a computer chip with a clever algorithm. The microphone listens to ambient noise, and the algorithm flips the soundwave upside down, playing it back to you to effectively cancel out the soundwave when it reaches your eardrum.<\/p>\n<p>\u0160koda&#8217;s DuoBell exploits a weakness in said bell with a short, sharp sound that is the perfect frequency \u2013 750 hertz \u2013 to bypass over-ear headphones&#8217; foam padding, and is short enough that the algorithm isn&#8217;t able to process it and flip it before it&#8217;s over. They then added in a second frequency at 2000Hz, which people actually recognise as a bike bell, and DuoBell was born.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">In testing, the brand found that the DuoBell was consistently audible from 50 feet (15.24m) further away than traditional bells when wearing noise-cancelling headphones.<\/p>\n<p>What I love about this story the most, though, is that \u0160koda isn&#8217;t gatekeeping the technology for its own profit. It is instead just giving the science away to the world for free via an open-source whitepaper, in a bid to make our cities safer. Excellent stuff.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">That does mean you&#8217;ll have to wait a while until you see noise-cancelling bells in our best bike bells buying guide, though.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"block mb-5\" id=\"articleTag\" data-component-name=\"PostArticleLinks\" data-nosnippet data-mrf-recirculation=\"post-article-links\">\n<div class=\"border-b border-b-black border-solid py-2.5 text-black font-bold uppercase\">TOPICS<\/div>\n<nav class=\"py-2.5 flex gap-2.5 flex-wrap\" data-analytics-id=\"article-tag\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"article-tag\">\n<p>Tech<\/p>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"slice-container-authorBio-Lk8AV3SPQseXVWp6iHG2S5\" class=\"slice-container slice-author-bio authorBio-Lk8AV3SPQseXVWp6iHG2S5 slice-container-authorBio\">\n<div class=\"author author__default-layout author--separator author--collapsible\" data-hydrate=\"true\">\n<div class=\"author__header\">\n<div class=\"author__avatar-block\">\n<figure class=\"image-wrapped__wrapper\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"false\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__widthsetter\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__aspect-padding\">\n<div><source class=\"author__avatar image-wrapped__image image__image\" type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/V3GXEP85KSp9eSMY5JsYqd-140-80.jpg.webp 140w\" sizes=\"99vw\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/V3GXEP85KSp9eSMY5JsYqd.jpg\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/V3GXEP85KSp9eSMY5JsYqd.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/V3GXEP85KSp9eSMY5JsYqd.jpg\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-slice-image=\"true\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__heading\">\n<div class=\"author__name\">Josh Croxton<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__social\">\n<nav class=\"button-social-group author__social-buttons\" aria-labelledby=\"button-social-group- author__social-buttons\">\n<div id=\"button-social-group- author__social-buttons\">Social Links Navigation<\/div>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__role\">Associate Editor (Tech)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__bio-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"author__biography\">\n<p>Josh is Associate Editor of Cyclingnews \u2013 leading our content on the best bikes, kit and the latest breaking tech stories from the pro peloton.

And what&#8217;s even more incredible, the brand has decided not to gatekeep the tech but instead give it away to the world for free, to make our world a safer place.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps ironically, despite \u0160koda being a car brand, and driving and cycling often being at odds with each other, the problem this bell solves isn&#8217;t one related to cars, but pedestrians.<\/p>\n<p>\u0160koda says pedestrian accidents have gone up by 30% in recent years, and attributes some of that increase to noise-cancelling headphones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Over recent years, noise-cancelling headphones have become prevalent, and it&#8217;s not uncommon for pedestrians to wear noise-cancelling headphones while walking on shared-use paths, crossing the road, or in many other walks of life.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-Lk8AV3SPQseXVWp6iHG2S5\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-Lk8AV3SPQseXVWp6iHG2S5 slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__header\">Get The Leadout Newsletter<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">The latest race content, interviews, features, reviews and expert buying guides, direct to your inbox!<\/p>\n<footer class=\"newsletter-form__footer \">By submitting your information you agree to the Terms &amp; Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over.<\/footer>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Among the noises cancelled by said headphones is the ding of a traditional bike bell, the polite &#8220;excuse me, on your right&#8221;, or perhaps the buzz of your noisy freehub as you coast up behind the newly oblivious jogger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Inside each pair of noise-cancelling headphones is a microphone and a computer chip with a clever algorithm. The microphone listens to ambient noise, and the algorithm flips the soundwave upside down, playing it back to you to effectively cancel out the soundwave when it reaches your eardrum.<\/p>\n<p>\u0160koda&#8217;s DuoBell exploits a weakness in said bell with a short, sharp sound that is the perfect frequency \u2013 750 hertz \u2013 to bypass over-ear headphones&#8217; foam padding, and is short enough that the algorithm isn&#8217;t able to process it and flip it before it&#8217;s over. They then added in a second frequency at 2000Hz, which people actually recognise as a bike bell, and DuoBell was born.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">In testing, the brand found that the DuoBell was consistently audible from 50 feet (15.24m) further away than traditional bells when wearing noise-cancelling headphones.<\/p>\n<p>What I love about this story the most, though, is that \u0160koda isn&#8217;t gatekeeping the technology for its own profit. It is instead just giving the science away to the world for free via an open-source whitepaper, in a bid to make our cities safer. Excellent stuff.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">That does mean you&#8217;ll have to wait a while until you see noise-cancelling bells in our best bike bells buying guide, though.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/cycling-tech-components\/skoda-develops-bike-bell-that-can-bypass-noise-cancelling-headphones-and-then-gives-the-technology-away-for-free\/&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/pdjx59DdTrYRupTDvLD3Yh-1440-80.jpg&#8221;] Cycling Tech &amp; Components Skoda develops bike bell that can bypass noise-cancelling headphones, and then gives the technology away for free News By Josh Croxton published 10 April 2026 The clever dual-frequency design can trick algorithms and be heard from 50 feet further away than traditional bells When you purchase through links [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[226,68],"class_list":["post-1876458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-crawlmanager","tag-cyclingnews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1876458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1876458"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1876458\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1876458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1876458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1876458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
