While suppression indeed can = be an effective way to deal with unwanted sounds, research makes clear = that the volume is not always the main cause of noise pollution. = Specific frequencies and/or vibrations with a limited amount of dB(A) = can also have a significant influence on how people experience a public = sonic atmosphere. At the same time, loud sounds can mask other, more = irritating ones and thus have a positive influence on the way a specific = space is encountered. Besides the direct physical influence of sound on the well-being of = living creatures, sound also plays an important role on a = socio-political and even ethical level. Important issues are: who or = what is producing a sound? Can (annoying) sounds in public spaces = somehow be controlled, managed, or manipulated? Who is appropriating a = specific public space through sound and who is =E2=80=93 sonically, = socially or otherwise =E2=80=93 excluded? Who controls and determines = the sonic atmosphere of a public space? When can unwanted sounds be = heard? What are the expectations concerning the sonic atmosphere that = listeners have? In other words, non-acoustic variables should be taken into account too = when evaluating a sonic environment: personal characteristics and = circumstances (sound sensitivity, attitudes, expectations), situational = aspects (the number of sound sources, the presence or absence of silent = spaces), and contextual variables (how authorities react to possible = complaints). This session is organized as a spatial-temporal event where presenters = and audience can discuss the complexity of analyzing and (re)designing a = sonic environment. Potential topics may include but are not restricted = to: - Rethinking noise - The socio-political dimensions of sonic spaces - The role of sound art in transforming a sonic space - Affective tonalities - Sonic commons - The ethics of sound - The policy of frequency and vibrational forces (including infra- = and ultrasound) All abstracts (max. 500 words) for this session must be send as either a = Word file or a PDF to noise@xxxxxxxx = <mailto:noise@xxxxxxxx>.
