– Analysing and evaluating the appearance of a synthetically created soundscape, comparing this to my real experience, or imagined idea of what the soundscape sounds like. An example could be in zoos, sometimes jungle recordings are used to create a fabricated version of the environment the animals on display originate from. This would fit in with the books I am currently reading on sound perception: Sonic Virtuality, Sound as Emergent Perception by Grimshaw and Garner; Sonic Possible Worlds, Hearing the Continuum of sound by Salome Voegelin; and Sound, Music, Affect, Theorising Sonic Experience by Thompson and Biddle

– Redefining noise pollution using Grimshaw and Garner’s emergent perception derived definition of sound. What can we categorise as such? I would propose an alternate definition of noise pollution than the current standard(Unwanted or excessive sound that can have negative effects on humans, wildlife and other environmental variables). Using what I hear outside my house in Elephant and Castle for examples. I would propose that sounds commonly classified as noise pollution, for instance; cars, trains, building work etc do not classify as noise pollution win the context of its location. As that of birds chirping, trees rustling and wolves howling in the forests of the areas that preceded the development of London before the anthropocene. I instead suggest that sounds uncommon or unheard, sounds that pique your attention as being out of place or unexpected in the environment you are currently situated in are the sounds that should be reclassified as noise pollution, the sounds that are without context or without obvious source.
