Abstract
A ferrofluid chamber has a housing that is adapted to be coupled to a component that generates a magnetic field. The housing may be disposed around the component so as to insulate a noise-producing region of the component. The magnetic field may be of sufficient strength to stimulate anatomical tissue. In addition, a ferrofluid may be disposed within the housing for cooling the component.

1-36. (canceled)
A magnetic stimulation system comprising:
- a stimulation coil comprising a ferromagnetic core and one or more windings configured to be wrapped around the ferromagnetic core;
- a control circuit in electrical communication with the stimulation coil and configured to provide current to the stimulation coil to generate a magnetic field in a target anatomy of a human subject;
- and
- a sound absorber disposed around the stimulation coil and configured to reduce noise produced by the stimulation coil.
