Noise : A Human History of Sound and Listening
Prehistoric drummers used natural acoustics to recreate natural sound.In classical Europe, orators turned the human voice into a lyrical instrument.In Buddhist temples, the icons' ears were exaggerated to represent their spiritual power. And in modern metropolises we are battered by the roar of sound that surrounds us.In the first narrative history of the subject which puts humans at its centre, and following the author's major BBC Radio 4 series Noise, acclaimed historian David Hendy describes the history of noise - which is also the history of listening.As he puts it: 'By thinking about sound and listening, I want to get closer to what it felt like to live in the past.'This unusual book reveals fascinating changes in how we have understood our fellow human beings and the world around us.For although we might see ourselves inhabiting a visual world, our lives are shaped by our need to hear and be heard.

What is best for working: white noise, pink noise, or brown noise?
The best type of noise for working can vary depending on individual preferences. White noise is often recommended for its ability to mask other sounds and create a consistent background noise. Pink noise, with its balanced frequency spectrum, can also be effective for promoting focus and concentration. Brown noise, with its deeper and lower frequency range, may be helpful for some individuals in creating a calming and soothing environment for work. Ultimately, the best type of noise for working will depend on personal preferences and what helps an individual to stay focused and productive.

What is the difference between noise suppression and noise cancellation (Noise Cancelling)?
Noise suppression and noise cancellation (Noise Cancelling) are both techniques used to reduce unwanted sounds, but they work in different ways. Noise suppression typically refers to the process of reducing background noise during audio transmission or recording, often through the use of software algorithms or hardware filters. On the other hand, noise cancellation (Noise Cancelling) involves the use of specialized hardware, such as headphones or microphones, to actively counteract external noise by producing sound waves that are the exact opposite of the incoming noise, effectively canceling it out. While noise suppression aims to reduce the impact of noise on audio signals, noise cancellation actively works to eliminate the noise altogether.
-
Is it normal for noise cancelling to reduce background noise?
Yes, it is normal for noise cancelling technology to reduce background noise. Noise cancelling works by using microphones to pick up ambient sounds and then producing sound waves that are the exact opposite to cancel out the unwanted noise. This can significantly reduce background noise, making it easier to focus on the desired audio or simply enjoy a quieter environment.

How can you suppress footstep noise using noise-cancelling headphones?
Noise-cancelling headphones work by using built-in microphones to pick up external sounds and then producing sound waves that are the exact opposite (anti-noise) to cancel them out. To suppress footstep noise using noise-cancelling headphones, the headphones will detect the sound of footsteps and produce anti-noise to counteract it, effectively reducing the overall noise level. This technology is particularly effective for constant, low-frequency sounds like footsteps, making them less noticeable and allowing you to focus on other sounds or enjoy silence.

How can one remove the microphone's noise and background noise?
To remove microphone noise and background noise, you can use noise reduction software or plugins such as Audacity, Adobe Audition, or RX 8. These tools allow you to isolate and reduce unwanted noise from your recordings. Additionally, using a high-quality microphone with good noise-cancelling capabilities and proper placement can help minimize background noise. Finally, recording in a quiet environment and using soundproofing materials can also help reduce unwanted noise in your recordings.
-
Is it normal for noise cancelling to reduce the background noise?
Yes, it is normal for noise cancelling technology to reduce background noise. Noise cancelling works by using microphones to pick up ambient sounds and then producing sound waves that are the exact opposite (or phase-inverted) of those sounds. When these two sound waves meet, they cancel each other out, reducing the overall noise level. This can be particularly effective for constant, low-frequency sounds like the hum of an airplane or the rumble of a train. However, it may not be as effective for sudden, high-pitched noises.
-
Is the noise normal?
It depends on the context and the specific noise in question. Some noise may be considered normal in certain situations, such as the sound of traffic in a busy city. However, if the noise is unusual, excessive, or disruptive, it may not be considered normal and could indicate a problem that needs to be addressed. It is important to assess the noise in relation to its surroundings and determine if it is within expected levels.

What is noise pollution?
Noise pollution is the excessive or disruptive noise that can have harmful effects on human health and the environment. It is typically caused by industrial activities, transportation, construction, and urbanization. Prolonged exposure to high levels of noise pollution can lead to hearing loss, stress, sleep disturbances, and other health issues. Noise pollution can also disrupt wildlife habitats and communication among animals.
