Fun fact about active sound design - does vacuum needs to be so loud? A large company developed a near silent vacuum cleaner which was rejected by consumers as silence was equated with ineffectiveness! Apparently we curb the development with sentiment to what we are familiar with.
How often does sound design gets refelected in project visuals & presentation, almost never.
Every new project eventually creates its own set of sound parameters and contributes to the overall quality of the city by making many choices and decisions starts with the location nature and analysis of the existing sound levels and type, and ultimately ends with the contribution that it makes during and after construction .
For significant fresh locations where we build by the beach or in the desert where originally no sound pollution has been introduced yet designers must be mindful about every plant or heat exchanger noise they bring to the project, it’s usually easier to control noise than isolating it.
