About this listen

In this episode of Fighting Noise, host Julien welcomes Luca d’Alessandro, CEO and co-founder of Phononic Vibes—a deeptech startup transforming the way we tackle noise and vibration through metamaterials. We explore: • what metamaterials really are (hint: it’s not just marketing), • how Phononic Vibes grew from lab to 10M€+ revenue in a hardware space, • why working with giants like Deutsche Bahn helped—but didn’t define—their path, • and how acoustic innovation can finally scale, even without regulation pushing it. Luca shares insights on team building, business models, break-even moments, and why educating the market still matters more than crushing competitors. If you ever wondered whether sound can be designed, this episode is for you.
