Need an excuse? Background noises now available
If you are looking for an excuse to break off a phone conversation, explain why you cannot go to work, or are going to be horribly late for a meeting, an enterprising German company may have the answer.
It has come up with what it calls a sound alibi generator - background noises that can be downloaded on to a mobile phone to simulate the place you are supposed to be.
The selection of nine sounds includes a traffic jam, roadworks, a circus parade, a dentist's surgery, and the ring of another phone so you can get rid of an unwanted caller by saying you are needed on the landline.
