Anti-snoring Pillow
The original patent here has no suitable illustration of its product, so I've taken the liberty of having Copilot conjure up some images. Basically, the pillow would use Active Noise Control to cancel out the snores.

Cotton Balls and Cardboard Boxes
Swiss artist Zimoun makes noisy art by causing hundreds of cotton balls to rub against cardboard boxes.At least, he consistently describes the white objects as "cotton balls." They don't look or sound like cotton to me. But then again, they're constantly in motion, so it's hard to see exactly what they are.
