The Bitter Truth About Dolby
Isn’t it time you told people the truth about Dolby noise reduction? As anyone can tell, the Dolby is a noise maker. When you think it’s off, it’s really on, making an irritating hiss. When you think you’ve turned the Dolby on, you’re really turned it off, giving the impression of a big improvement. Why don’t you ever mention this?

Come off it, Ray. I know that this is really a message from Ray Dolby, the inventor of Dolby noise reduction. And let me tell you that you can’t expect to get free publicity from me with your fake controversial questions to Dr. Science. No, both the public and I are too sophisticated to be hoodwinked that way. As any movie-goer knows, Dolby sound is the process that allows overly loud noises to swish around the theater, making movie watching so annoying. So, the next time you get a headache at a bargain matinee, don’t blame Hollywood, blame Ray Dolby.
