They likely will sonically baffle any outlet for humidity to avoid this issue.

I'm curious if the ultraound causes increased wear of the fabric at the thread ends, for example.

Good point! The water vapour needs a way out. That means a direct air path between the fabric and the outside world. They cannot seal the entire thing in a vacuum bottle to deaden the sound. I see a 50' pipe full of baffles, a giant truck muffler, between this thing and anyone with eardrums.

It seems to produce droplets of cold liquid water, not vapor, so it should be much easier to collect that into a container in a closed system.

There are ultrasonic mist generators for cooling yourself down which probably work on the same principle:

Conventional driers also cause significant wear to clothes.

Right, so the question is if the ultrasonic causes more than hotbox dryers, or condensation dryers, or the heat pump dryers.
