Abstract
Cultural noise has been on the rise for many years now, and due to this many “tune out” their environments. While this may not seem like a problem, the rise in ambient noise levels has been shown to cause psychological and physiological harm to those exposed to high levels. The drone of everyday life is beginning to take control of the acoustic landscapes that we live in. I remind you that humans cannot close their ears. Hearing is involuntary. To avoid damage to our acoustic environments and to our health, I encourage you to listen for the nuances you may not have heard before. I hope this soundwalk will lead you to listen to the sounds around you and to imagine the tragedy of losing them.
