The sound sponge is an ingenious little device prized by hired thugs and thieves across the galaxy. Small and boxy, this device is usually placed near doorways or windows from which the user wants no sound to escape. The device then emits a certain frequency of noise which dulls all other sound in the area, particularly blocking sound flowing from one side of the item to the other. The sound sponge has multiple settings to allow as much or as little sound to travel in the are as is desired. In the hands of a skilled user, the sound sponge can disguise a break-in, or cover the sounds of a struggle from prying ears. Boba Fett, the notorious bounty hunter, employed a sound sponge when attempting to capture Bria Tharen; by placing the little box near the door and activating it at its highest level, Fett was able to prevent any noise he or his captive made from passing through the doorway to the hall outside her room.
