I’m currently at the stage where I’ve decided my topic for now. I want to speak about noise pollution and its effects on us. How it is being combated and what role a sound artist could have on sound designing cities to combat noise pollution. I created a mind map to reflect the paragraphs for each section of the audio document.

I’ve given myself the broad categories of what I want to speak about. I’m not entirely sure if they will stay the same but I need to begin doing my research and writing the script so I can refine it. I’ve been stuck for a while on the about to begin my research stage so I decided to go ahead and plan everything.
I’ll begin by doing research into defining what is noise pollution first as I think that’s important. What do we consider noise pollution? Why is it important to be aware of noise pollution? What are the effects of it? I need to do some information findings before answering these questions.
