Site Visit #2: Building 20

In class we spent some time around our chosen buildings recording various sounds. In building 20, however, you could hear a pin drop.  It was very quiet and empty, so there wasn’t a lot of range of sounds. I mostly recorded footsteps clacking on the stairs, people typing in their offices, and the distant sounds of cars coming through the doors.

I guess the main point about the sound in this space is that it’s barely there. There is nothing that is unique to that space, but the silence occasionally broken by some computer keys or a distant sounding tram, accurately reflects the building. It is still, and silent.
