STFU is a lightweight web application that uses the Web Audio API to capture microphone input and play it back with an approximately two-second delay, exploiting the delayed auditory feedback effect that makes it cognitively difficult for most people to continue speaking. The tool was built as a humorous but functional way to discourage disruptive or excessive talking by inducing the same speech-jamming phenomenon studied in psychoacoustics research.
