#2Does anyone know where to follow this project, or perhaps if there's a Kickstarter or something? I can't seem to find anything outside of this one article. I would pay very good money for something like this. Ground floor apartments on major streets are awful. :-(

Yes, this should be on a crowdfunded project asap if the prototype in the video was really functional and no simulated sounds were added. I'd buy it in an instant!
Maybe I'll attempt to promote it on Reddit to help with gaining more 'mass-appeal' traction.

#4Selective noise cancellation could be possible using a Fourier transform. Zero out the coefficients that you still want to hear and then perform an inverse transform, then a time-domain inversion, and finally apply the appropriate amount of delay to the signal.

#5That was a fantastic video.

Most of what they 'demo' in the video are nonlinear sources, they'll need a lot more processing smarts than a simple FFT to sort that out.

I'm pretty sure it was CGI.

Your answer is very fascinating, can you please explain it like I'm five?

#10I'm not convinced about the ability to block out certain types of sounds (e.g. birds vs traffic), but blocking out certain frequencies should be quite possible.
Of course, there's one question the article didn't address: what proportion of sound is actually transmitted through window panes? One would expect that a whole lot of low-frequency sounds (traffic) would come through the walls too.
