Sound Pollution adjuster.
An idea i had for a potential installation was to create a machine that gets triggered by sound volume. I’ve always been fascinated about sound pollution and how it affects us. Mentally and physically. The idea i had was to play ambient soundscapes off locations recorded and to have a sensor constantly monitoring the db/volume of the room. Once it goes past the point selected the volume would adjust to be louder than the volume in the room. I’d like to also have it adjust with the volume not just one set amount. As people come in and speak louder the sensor will increase. I had thoughts of recording nature sounds based of my experience with Sound Envelope, of woodlands. Birds and isolated soundscapes.
