Year 2
I recorded my redraft again as I felt my previous performance wasn’t representing the information accurately. The voice and tone I was using didn’t make me feel interested. I switched it up and gave myself more time in between recordings and did more takes.
I present the rough draft 2.0 with no sounds just narration. I will ask now for feedback from my peers.
I’ve decided to redraft my audio document and include notes for sounds. As well as spacing out my text and creating more of a relaxed feel when performing. See below.
SCRIPT STARTS HERE:
Sound: busy cityscape field recording plays
Dereck: Noise pollution, An ever-growing problem in our inner-city lives.
Dereck: Noise pollution is a global issue that at first mainly associated with cities, has now spread further amongst rural locations due to overpopulation and landmass being uninhabitable.
Sound: soundscapes fade from busy cityscapes to rural soundscapes with noise pollution.
Dereck: Since the development of cities and modern society, noise pollution has been an issue. When we slowly evolved from small tribes to villages to towns and then megacities, sound has always been an important part of human life.
Sound: Swoosh sound effect to simulate travelling through the years, play short extracts of soundscapes of each type of example stated, eg tribes, a small village.
Dereck: But now instead of sound giving us cues to our daily life. For example the sound of roosters waking us up. The sounds of predators warning us to take heed or the footsteps of someone approaching.
Sound: Play the cues stated, cockerels making noise,
Sound has instead become a nuisance, and our ears are in turn an overstimulated sensory organ. This has in turn made it increasingly difficult to listen in our society and to pick apart what we really want to pay attention to.
Sound: Play annoying sounds that are deemed noise pollution and slowly towards the end of the paragraph make it almost inaudible.
Dereck: So why is noise pollution bad for our wellbeing. Well it has been heavily reported and studied and Scientists and doctors have reported on the damage it causes to our wellbeing and our physical bodies, but it’s been mainly ignored. Why you ask? Well, we can only speculate, but this is a typical trend amongst things that we can’t instantly see with our eyes. Even when presented with data, politicians fail to act and change our experience with noise for the better.
Sound: Play scientists speaking about noise pollution and soundscapes of politicians in parliament.
Dereck: So what is noise pollution? Noise pollution in this audio document will be defined as dangerous or unwanted sounds, For example. As Greg Hainge says in his book Noise Matters.
Dereck: ”Many others, especially those belonging to the anti-noise lobby, qualify it as ‘any auditory sensation which is disagreeable or uncomfortable”.
Dereck: Now this could very much be interpreted in different ways but it really does constitute to the individual. Noise pollution could be a police car driving past and waking you up. Loud aeroplanes flying over your property. The busy streets with conversations taking presence over everything. But there is an opposition in the noise world and although some scholars speak on how noise and modern noise pollution is a part of our new sonic landscapes in our modern society. This doesn’t disprove the data on how noise pollution affects our bodies in harmful ways.
Sound: Play sounds of the examples of noise pollution, police cars, aeroplanes, busy streets.
Dereck: The World Health Organisation report that there is a general agreement that exposure for more than 8 hours to sound levels in excess of 85 dB is potentially hazardous; to place this in context, 85 dB is roughly equivalent to the noise of heavy truck traffic on a busy road.
Sound: Play a busy road, and shout over it to emphasise how loud that is!
Dereck: A huge portion of people that live amongst main roads suffer this on a daily. If the effects of noise pollution were taken as seriously as the effects on our wellbeing then properties would be properly sound insulated.
Sound: Play busy streets while Dereck speaks.
Dereck: Noise pollution is also the most major disturbance of sleep as well as cardiovascular disease. The strongest evidence for the cardiovascular effect of noise has been the study on blood pressure alongside occupational noise exposure. There are studies that show workers experiencing over 85dB for 8 hours a day have considerably higher blood pressure.
Dereck: A few of the worst cities for noise pollution currently are.
Dereck: Karachi, Pakistan. The capital of Pakistan is known to have a huge population of 15 million. No wonder it’s one of the largest noise polluters.
Sound: Play Karachi soundscapes.
Dereck: Mumbai, India, it’s said the noise levels in the streets of Mumbai have been recorded to go over 100dB. Way above levels of harming human hearing.
Sound: Play Mumbai soundscapes.
Dereck: Cairo, Egypt, Actual deaths have been linked to noise pollution in this city.
Sound: Play Cairo soundscapes.
Dereck: I decided to write and produce this audio paper after my experience with noise pollution when first I arrived to live in London to study for my degree in Sound Arts. Before living in London I lived in a small city called Brighton by the seaside. Noise pollution was apparent but a very small amount in comparison.
Sound: Play Brighton soundscapes as they slowly morph into London soundscapes.
When moving to London I found difficulty in sleeping due to noise pollution from main roads near my bedroom as well as this traversing the city made me feel stressed and claustrophobic with the sounds of thousands of conversations happening simultaneously.
Sound: Busy streets sounds of conversations consume the narrator.
This was only more so enhanced by my increased attention to listening and passion for recording field recordings and being surprised when monitoring my recordings back that what I thought was noise pollution-free was not.
Sound: Play rural location field recording with noise pollution.
This led me to research the effects of noise pollution and the impact it has to give myself answers to my thoughts. Through attending the visiting practitioners series hosted and curated by Dr Annie Goh through Crisap I discovered sound artists using permanent sound installations to recycle and combat noise pollution. Alongside current climate change news and pressure on governments to switch to more eco-friendly practices due to scientific studies showing we have five years to act before it’s too late. I felt this audio paper couldn’t come at a greater time. To speak to the sound arts cannon, to question and speculate on what role a sound artist can have in combating noise pollution. Whether It is in raising awareness or in other means.
Sound: Play some visiting practitioners in the background speaking and finish with climate change interview recordings.
Dereck: So what are sound arts? Sound arts can be a very loose term and I felt Jono Gilmurray defined it better. In his audio documentary, he calls them sound works.
Sam Auringer is a sound artist the works with architects and city planners as well as doing public sound installations. He works with Bruce Odland on a project called O+A. Their work under this name predominantly spans around hearing perspective and they are known for large public permanent sound installations that convert city noise pollution into harmonic noise. This is interesting because science and art are usually enemies, I think sound arts has the potential for bridging a gap. O+A’s work shows that art can sometimes alongside science produce results that are more efficient than just one alone.
Sound: Play O+A installation sounds.
Dereck: As the population increases every year and constant noise pollution issues are ignored we ask ourselves, what are the options? Can sound artists play a role in combating noise pollution? I think so, whether it is through ecological sound works as spoken by Jono Gilmurray in his audio paper documentary titled Ecoacoustics. Or working alongside science as O+A does in their work, I can’t say for sure but what I do know is. There is room in the sound arts cannon to challenge the norms and attempt to use our creativity alongside science to find new ways to combat this inevitable future we all face.
I recorded the first draft and it came to around 6 minutes. This was without any pauses or sounds playing just narration. I feel like this is a good time to receive feedback from my peers and see what they say about the script. Before I move to add sound and music.
I recorded in my bedroom which ironically has a lot of noise pollution present in the recordings. For the actual final recording, I should do it at the university.
See attached first draft of the script recorded.
I’ve sculpted the old script and research as it’s so similar. The only thing I’ve changed is to make it more about sound artists and less down to factual scientific information. Except when speaking about wellbeing. There are also a few topics I’m removing from this script that the previous one didn’t have. Another thing is the previous script was an essay that hadn’t been converted to a script. I’ve rehashed the information to this first rough script.
What Role Can A Sound Artist Have In Combatting Noise Pollution?
Noise pollution, An ever growing problem in our inner city lives.
Noise pollution is a global issue that was at first mainly associated with cities, has now spreading further amongst our more rural locations due to overpopulation and landmass being uninhabitable.
Since the development of cities and modern society noise pollution has been an issue. When we slowly evolved from small tribes to villages to towns and then mega cities, sound has always been an important part of human life. But now instead of sound giving us cues to our daily life. For example the cockerels waking us up. The sounds of predators warning us to take heed or the footsteps of someone approaching.
Instead sound has become a nuisance, and our ears an over stimulated sensory organ. This has in turn made it increasingly difficult to listen in our society and to pick apart what we really want to pay attention to.
Noise pollution has been heavily reported and studied. Scientists and doctors have reported on the damage it causes to our wellbeing and our physical bodies but that has been mainly ignored. Why you ask? We can only speculate, but this is a typical trend amongst things that we can’t instantly see with our eyes. Even when presented with data, politicians fail to act and change our experience with noise for the better.
So what is noise pollution?
Noise pollution in this audio document will be defined as dangerous or unwanted sounds, For example. As Greg Hainge says in his book Noise Matters.
“Many others, especially those belonging to the anti-noise lobby, qualify it as ‘any auditory sensation which is disagreeable or uncomfortable”.
Now this could be very much so interpreted in different ways but it really does constitute to the individual. Noise pollution could be a police car driving past and waking you up. Loud airplanes flying over your property. The busy streets with conversations taking presence over everything. Now although some scholars speak on how noise and modern noise pollution is a part of our new sonic landscapes. This doesn’t disprove the data on how noise pollution effects our bodies in harmful ways.
The World Heath Organisation report that there is a general agreement that exposure for more than 8 hours to sound levels in excess of 85 dB is potentially hazardous; to place this in context, 85 dB is roughly equivalent to the noise of heavy truck traffic on a busy road. A huge portion of people that live amongst main roads suffer this on the daily.

Noise pollution is also the most major disturbance of sleep as well as cardiovascular disease. The strongest evidence for the cardiovascular effect of noise has been the study on blood pressure alongside occupational noise exposure. There are studies that show workers experiencing over 85dB for 8 hours a day have considerably higher blood pressure.
Now some of the worst cities for noise pollution are
Karachi, Pakistan. The capital of Pakistan is known to have a huge population of 15 million. No wonder it’s one of the largest noise polluters.
Mumbai, India, it’s said the noise levels in the streets of Mumbai have been recorded to go over 100dB. Way above levels of harming human hearing.
Cairo, Egypt, Actual deaths have been linked to noise pollution in this city.
So I decided to write and produce this audio paper after my experience with noise pollution when I arrived to live in London to study my Degree in Sound Arts. Before living in London I lived in a small city called Brighton by the seaside. Noise pollution was apparent but a very small amount in comparison. When moving to London I found difficulty in sleeping due to noise pollution from main roads near my bedroom as well traversing the city made me feel stressed and claustrophobic with the sounds of thousands of conversations happening simultaneously.

I felt this audio paper couldn’t come at a more greater time To speak to the sound arts cannon, to question and speculate on what role a sound artist can have in combating noise pollution. Wether It is in raising awareness or in other means.
So what is sound arts? Sound arts can be a very loose meaning and I felt Jono Gilmurray defined it better and as he preferred it, sound work.
An example of a sound artist currently combating noise pollution with his work is Sam Auringer. Sam is a sound artist that works with architects and city planners as well as doing public sound installations. He works with Bruce Odland on a project called O+A. Their work under this name spans predominantly around hearing perspective and they’re known for large public permanent sound installations that convert city noise pollution into harmonic noise. This is interesting because science and art are usually enemies, I think sound arts has potential for bridging a gap. O+As work shows that art can sometimes alongside science produce results that are more efficient than just one alone.
As the population increases every year and constant issues are ignored we ask our selves what are the options? Can sound artists play a role in combating noise pollution? I think so, wether it is through eco sound arts pieces that raise awareness to the problem as spoken by Jono Gilmurray in his audio paper documentary titled Ecoacoustics. Or with giant mega installations recycling noise pollution into harmonic sounds. I can’t say for sure but what I do know is there is room in the sound arts cannon to challenge the norms and attempt to use our creativity alongside science to find new ways to combat this inevitable future we all face.
I’ll be writing my rough script based on this plan so far. Very rough but will give me a sense of guidance when writing the script.
Intro:
Introduce Noise pollution. – Noise pollution is….? Speak on examples of noise pollution. Neighbours are being loud. From small announces to major annoyances. Traffic or planes! Speak about Heathrow airport being the worst area! 55dB+! WHO says this is unliveable. Then why is this important? What does noise pollution do for our well-being? gives us blood pressure. Stress. Early death. Lack of attention in studying.
Part 1:
Why I decided to write this audio paper. I feel completely attacked by noise pollution. Brighton being calmer than London and my adverse effects lead me to want to write about this topic. Studying sound made me more aware since joining this course and listening in general. Watching the visiting practitioner series curated by Annie Goh in the Crisap at UAL has presented me with new works from artists which I became interested in. Our current climate with not just noise pollution but global temperatures increasing and this being a topic also brought attention for me to this topic and made me want to research more. We will run out of land. Overpopulation will affect us and noise pollution is bound to get worse.
Part 2:
Speak about what current sound artists are doing. Sam Aubringer and research a few more. And speak why this is interesting and how important it is to combating noise pollution or perhaps even just raising awareness. Then speculate on what our future soundscapes will be like based on others and my thoughts. End the audio paper with why sound artists can help combat noise pollution based on the evidence provided and my thoughts and views.
Revised new abstract for the audio paper.
The role of a sound artist in our modern society has rarely been questioned, in fact even thought about. With art being a powerful medium used in the twenty-first century, how can sound artists use their medium to help combat noise pollution? This audio paper will artistically report its opinion on noise pollution, with information gathered from multiple sources to discuss the damage noise pollution can have on our wellbeing. As well as the importance of acknowledging noise pollution and correcting it in our modern society. Sound artists are already using their art form to currently bring awareness and even play with the medium of noise pollution but it’s at an early stage of understanding the true importance of why a sound artist should or what role they can acquire in combatting noise pollution. Whether it is to raise awareness on the subject or to balance art with science and to create structures that recycle noise pollution into permanent sound resonanting installations. This audio paper will discuss the above while having the opinion of the author discussing his own relationship to noise pollution as well as experience with it. The audio paper will also reflect on current works and speculate on the future of our society and what the importance of a sound artist could be in combatting noise pollution.
Since revisiting my initial idea for my audio paper I’ve decided to adjust it to make more sense for the brief and myself. And because of this, I’m going to rehash from the beginning the script. While using my previous information acquired and script as a reference taking bits that make sense as the topic is close but not the same this time.
Instructional Score two.
Introduce noise pollution, speak on what is considered noise pollution and play examples. Use sound to showcase the types of noise pollution and play with the sound effects alongside the narration.
Explain why noise pollution is bad for humans, How it affects us. What it does for wellbeing. Showcase examples of cities where it is incredibly bad. (This will offer the opportunity to use soundscapes from different cities around the world) As well as the limit of dB that it becomes bad for us.
Speak about my personal experience with noise pollution. How it affects me and why I think it’s important. Why I decided to make an audio paper about this topic.
Then speak about Sound Artists using noise pollution in their work. Why this is interesting. What does it add to the sound arts cannon? How will this benefit the future? Speak about population increase, global warming meaning we lose landmass.
Finally, reflect on the importance of sound artists and noise pollution and what role they can have in combatting noise pollution.
I read through both links on the weekly moodle page and found these as the most important points for the audio paper.
Initial substantial revision on the script when writing it.
The audio paper could be a conventional style or informal? Break free from the academic style that paper essays have.
Concrete details, for immersion. sound, smell, taste, or touch, as well as dialogue and observations about people’s behaviour and personalities.
Use a simple method of organising for the script.
After you make further revisions do a trial recording.
After recording the trial. Get feedback from peers, I need to remember this is an audio paper. This is not an essay. How can we convey the message with sound to help the narration?
Then add sound effects and music, anything that will help the immersion.
Then after doing the full draft and receiving feedback it’s time to make the final version. Clear voice and recording.
So as it stands.
I felt I needed to understand examples of an audio paper more than I had previously researched. As my research isn’t terrible, in fact, a lot of information is present. I spent some time listening to three different audio papers that were incredibly different.
I started with Cathy Lanes audio paper. Listening to not listening to voices. I found the paper really interesting. The points she makes did spark thought. I was paying more attention though to the presentation and performative qualities of her audio paper. A few things I enjoyed and that I might use. The use of field recordings and effects in contrast to her voice. Using panning. Using her points in the script and having the audio reflect that to enhance the meaning. Sometimes she lets the audio speak what an essay might have needed to have written. It is also written very formal. Which I might or might not necessarily wish to copy.
The second was Dean Powell’s audio document titled, Nonduality and the potential of listening. I found his similar to Cathy Lanes but slightly different. His use of panning again to reflect his points really helped emphasise his points. I like this idea that I might see if I can use it in mine for a different context.
The third was Raul Azevedo Ramos piece, his was very much different to both. More documentary based explaining the life and impact of a sound artist. Using lots of extracts to really get the listener into the time period and feel immersed. Again something I will consider. The plan now is to research how to write an audio paper which I’ve seen a few links to on moodle. I’m not giving up entirely on my previous script perhaps it just needs refinement.
Over Christmas and just before the holiday period I had established a rough first draft. Initially, I was approaching the script as an ethnographic type of performance. wanting it to be very specific and formal. I worked with tutors for my dyslexia on writing the script but after reading it back from taking a break I very much feel it’s presented in the wrong format. It’s not a script it’s an essay. Now I’m sure some audio papers can be presented in a very strict academic sense but I don’t feel like this script maximises the abilities and features that an audio paper can allow.
I’m going to upload below my rough script and my log of notes and information that I’ve made. Today I’m going to plan towards the next steps and begin continuing my work on this audio paper. I do feel like perhaps changing topics. Noise pollution and the role a sound artist could play in it is perhaps a bit vague and allows for too much scientific information which I don’t want to dabble in too much.
Since re-reading the brief there are a few things that really stood out for me. Number one is that it should be a “Documentary style audio paper” I’m not sure if my script currently is. It is a little and does go on about noise pollution in a documentary style but I’m reading this more as a historical documentary. Maybe that’s just what I find easier?
Second, that is should reflect social and political issues relating to your subject. There are many social and political elements of noise pollution and who can listen. So I have definitely touched the right part here.
The main point I think I have perhaps missed is that it should be in the sound art field. From the list mentioned mine isn’t. This is not a problem but I feel I might have perhaps missed the reason behind this audio paper. I was initially interested in how sound artists bring awareness or use noise pollution as a tool in sound arts. From the visiting practitioners series where a few artists use permanent sound installations to recycle noise pollution into resonating sounds. And this really fascinated me. The planets health and global warming are huge topics right now and many say we have almost run out of time to act before things get worse. Population increase as well. I did and do feel like sound arts can be related to this field but I’m unsure to what extent. Am i just making this harder for myself? I don’t necessarily feel like doing an audio paper that requires little work, for example, the history of something, Insert sound arts topic here. But rather my opinion on a specific subject related to sound arts and its future understanding. I’m going to revisit the lecture slides and have a think. I have plenty of time left to do this audio paper and have as much time to dedicate myself to this so it shouldn’t be an issue. More the will currently.
Here is the rough draft of the original document.
What role can a sound artist play in combatting inner-city noise pollution?
Noise pollution is an ever-growing problem in our inner cities. Since the development of cities, noise pollution has been an issue noticed by scientists and urban cityscape designers but never taken seriously on its detrimental effects on our wellbeing. We are going into an uncertain future where sea levels are said to rise and close off landmasses forcing us to live in closer proximity to one another than previously ever been. Noise pollution is set to become one of the biggest issues to combat. This audio paper will discuss initially what noise pollution is, followed by how it has a detrimental effect on our wellbeing, mental health and life experience in cities. Then, on how noise pollution is currently handled and fought against in cities such as London.
Paragraph 1 what is noise pollution
The definition of noise pollution is harmful and or annoying levels of noise. The noise itself can be seen in its most literal sense to be considered an auditory phenomenon. Or as by some scientists, as an acoustic vibration that is random, complex and has no order. Now the Noise we are talking about today is in regards to the word pollution. Noise and pollution together have a whole different meaning. So, noise pollution in this audio document will be defined as dangerous unwanted sounds. For example, As Greg Hainge says in his book Noise Matters. “Many others, especially those belonging to the anti-noise lobby, qualify it as ‘any auditory sensation which is disagreeable or uncomfortable” Although some scholars speak on how noise and modern noise pollution is a part of our new sonic landscapes. As a species, modern children are already born with resistance to loud noises from being brought up with noise pollution. Noise Pollution is one of the worse things that humans can experience auditory effects have always been unnoticed as extreme as visuals.
Conclude: how does noise pollution affect our health
Paragraph 2. Noise pollutions in cities and cities relationship to noise pollution.
WHAT IS A CITY?
Cities are large populations of humans in a short amount of space. Cities usually harbour large corporations, opportunities and better living conditions. For some moving and living in a city is the only option and this is what makes it even more important to combat noise pollution.
HOW BAD IS IT?
Noise pollution is often overlooked in modern society. There is plenty of evidence showcasing the negative effects of noise pollution. The world health organisation have stated that there is a general agreement that exposure for more than 8 hours to sound levels in excess of 85 dB is potentially hazardous; to place this in context, 85 dB is roughly equivalent to the noise of heavy truck traffic on a busy road.
Noise pollution is the most major disturbance of sleep as well as Cardiovascular disease. The strongest evidence for the cardiovascular effect of noise has been the study of blood pressure and occupational noise exposure.
WHY ARE CITIES THE WORST FOR NOISE POLLUTION
The worst cities for noise pollution are currently.
1. Karachi, Pakistan. The capital of Pakistan is known to have a huge population of 15 million. No wonder it’s the largest noise polluter.
2. Mumbai, India, it’s said the noise levels in the streets of Mumbai have been recorded to go over 100dB. Way above levels of harming human hearing.
3. Cairo, Egypt, Actual deaths have been linked to noise pollution in this city. Not a rare case but for it to be actually acknowledged is something in itself.
EG. CASE STUDY IN LONDON LCC INTERVIEWS
WHERE ARE THE WORST AREAS OF NOISE POLLUTION IN LONDON
London Heathrow is the largest airport in England. Due to urbanism and population increasing. Cities growing larger and larger stretching beyond their boundaries. An airport like London Heathrow is able to exist to the detriment of its neighbours inhabiting the area. Only due to society benefiting financially more from travel being faster to a city like London.
There are current discussions on creating a third terminal at London Heathrow airport which is said to absolutely break the guidelines set by the WHO. It is estimated that 725,500 people are exposed to noise from Heathrow. Which in comparison to an airport such as Frankfurt which is seen to be the loudest airport in Europe is said to only affect one-third of this amount.
Paragraphs 3&4. HOW IS THIS NOISE POLLUTION BEING COMBATTED? WHAT IS BEING DONE TO BETTER THIS ISSUE
GOVERNMENT DONT CARE
As it currently stands. Governments prioritise an economy flourishing over the importance of the human body. We find instances of privilege in our society around noise pollution and who is able to experience it. If the government was truly invested in protecting its people from noise pollution we wouldn’t even have the idea of a third terminal at London Heathrow as a possibility.
POPULATION AMOUNT DOESN’T HELP
The increased level of population we are having is also not helping noise pollution. In cities like London where on average 14,550 residents per square mile noise pollution becomes impossibly to avoid. The lack of awareness amongst our politicians means that global warming is happening at an alarming rate. They say we have less than 5 years to act before a global rise of 2 degrees becomes inevitable. Due to ocean levels rising and droughts. We as a species will be forced to live in areas of the planet that are inhabitable which will slowly decrease if we continue. Meaning we will end up squashed together.
MATERIALS FOR BUILDINGS?
Another aspect councils and governments, even architects don’t take enough time to think about when designing their buildings and superstructures is the material.
