Did you ever consider the possibility that vacuum cleaners might be silent? Well, Electrolux came up with the Silence Amplified just to drive home that possibility. Dubbed the “most silent vacuum cleaner ever made”, it operates at just 68dB, so you’ll be able to listen to music while you vacuum. Probably to illustrate the point, Electrolux crammed an iPod dock and integrated speakers into the unit, so you can literally play music and vacuum at the same duration. Sadly the iPod-dock version of that vacuum cleaner won’t be mass produced, but it’s still nice to know to know of such a possibility, right?

Word is that the thought of the near-silence of electric propulsion, the fact that full torque is available from a standstill, would be perfectly aligned with Rolls-Royce’s core values. It’s good to see that Rolls-Royce is additionally working towards making cars more environmentally friendly with that move. Now we just have to wait for them to send us a unit to experiment drive.
