Soundscape




These are the results of mapping the sound intensity around the site I have chosen for my Coffee House. I was surprised to find such a mix of volume during the morning, but as the evening got later, Cuba St started to increase in activity and sound while Leeds St around the back started to get quieter. What isn't described in these maps is the timbre of the sound - such as the loud traffic noise of Ghuznee St compared with the talking and footsteps of a crowd of people on Cuba St, to the extraction and A/C vents around the backs of restaurants or children in the local play center, but which affect the 'perception' of the sound I think.
