While hearing-impaired individuals share the same desire to enjoy music, they often struggle to do so due to a lack of opportunities. In response to this challenge, we propose Silent Symphony, a series of vibration speakers that allow them to feel and enjoy the sounds of various instruments, as well as experience orchestral performances. Silent Symphony comprises five instrument vibration speakers, each representing a different instrument: violin, trumpet, piano, flute, and drum. Each module of Silent Symphony has its distinct vibration range, offering users the opportunity to experience unique solo performances of each instrument through a single speaker. They can practice listening to vibrations with a single speaker or immerse themselves in orchestral performances with multiple speakers. When multiple speakers are placed together, they recognize each other and connect to provide a single synchronized harmonious vibration, akin to experiencing an orchestra.
