Maybe you've created your own AR program for wearables that shows the definition of a word when you highlight it IRL, or you've built a personal calendar app for your family to display on a monitor in the kitchen. Whatever it is, I'd love to hear it.

I currently live in a place in which at 4:30am ~ 5am a mosque speaker loudly blares through my closed window, through earplugs, and wakes me up.

I built a white noise generator on a timer, which starts up a little while before the expected disturbance, plays through it, then stops a little while after.

Maybe (if the current solution is not enough) ise the window glass ass a speaker, put a outside and play a negative sound of the mic capture through the window glass...
