Just stick it to the roof of your car, and Serene will capture the road noise and output sounds waves that cancel them out, so that you can enjoy a peaceful car ride.
Serene is a small, portable device that connects directly to your phone and car speaker. It sticks seamlessly to the walls of your car, and using ANC algorithms, it minimizes the external noise that it picks up inside the car.
During family road trips, I sat in the backseat as a child, and if I didn't yell, my parents in the front couldn't hear me. This was so annoying, as a long highway drive almost always came with losing my voice.
With my dad's hearing getting worse, I figured that we needed a way to drown out the road noise. I was desparate for a solution, so taking inspiration from noise-cancelling technology in headphones, I thought: "What if we did the same thing in cars?".
While a few very luxury cars offer ANC, I wanted to make ANC more accessible to all people, because everyone deserves sereneness!

| $228.21 | JLCPCB Parts | 2x (JLCPCB requires 2 of each part) |
| $61.05 | JLCPCB PCB | 0.15mm via and epoxy filled & capped selectedas it is required by the ADAU1787 Chip. Lead free coating also selected for safety and its only a dollar extra. 6 Layer manufacturing is selected because it is cheaper than 2/4 layer manufacturing due to a coupon. Although other options were explored, most DSPs(Digital Singal Processors) which is required for fast processing of audio(required for ANC) are WLCSP chips requiring 0.15mm vias which are epoxy filled & capped. Other solutions are too slow for this application. |

It measures 21.3 × 9.8 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
26 parts, built around the SK6805E-J. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
From the cshariq/Serene repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Serene Mini Hardware(PCB + Schematic)/Button/Button.kicad_pcb and its schematic Serene Mini Hardware(PCB + Schematic)/Button/Button.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask cshariq before reusing the design.
