Media Fast Response


Sound Response

Sound is something that is very crucial to everyday life. It is a part of everything we do and hearing sound is one of our primary senses. I love how sound is and how it can draw people in, or aggravate us to no end. Sound is fascinating.

The articles present a unique case for the preservation of sound. I had never considered this before and it is quite the concept to ponder on. National parks for example have all sorts of natural sounds and by replacing them with urban areas, 'noise' is created. I sometimes love to just stand outside and listen to all the natural sounds going on, from the wind, to the leaves and tree branches and everything else.

I'm also a big fan of noise. I absolutely cannot sleep without some kind of background noise going on, mostly a ceiling fan or AC unit blowing. I also find myself hating to study in absolute silence. If there is not some form of noise going on for me to tune out, I end up subconsciously looking for it -which sounds weird but makes sense. Our lives are so full of noises every day that when we are faced with complete silence, we don't know what to do with it.
