The purpose of this experiment was to determine the most effective position and mass of a wolf tone eliminator for effectively suppressing the wolf so that it was undetectable to the human ear and, hopefully, completely suppressed.

lifetime for sparking a lifelong passion inside me. As we drove by, I peered out the window and felt immediately attracted to the structure.
