Noise. It's everywhere. Cars, buses, trams, people. And there's no escaping it. It seems as though we don’t even notice the amount of information that our senses have to process on any given day and at night it doesn’t stop. Even while we’re asleep our brain monitors our environment for threats. And what an amazing environment it is. Big bright lights and billboards, the whirring of cars and speeding motorbikes, sirens, construction work, tram-tracks screeching and crowds gathering. Our modern life has basically become one big sensory overload, with noise and ads and lights and our overfilled schedules affecting our health in ways that we’re not even aware of. The truth is, sound will always be a part of our environment. Everything that lives moves and everything that moves makes a sound, but our environment is polluted, not with sound but with noise.
