The Future Of Noise

Everyone’s talking about air quality, but most people just ignore the daily noise we are surrounded by.
Crossing a busy street is a test of how many sounds your brain can process.
Notice it next time you’re waiting for the light to change.

Most of the energy we use today comes from harnessed pressure and explosions, which means loud sounds.

I see a day when noise will be seen just as second-hand smoke is seen today.
A nuisance.

Gears and bearings will be replaced by liquids and gels.
Internal combustion will be replaced by solar, wave and wind energy.
Active noise reduction will be incorporated into all devices.

Whisper quiet will have a new meaning.
Conversations, birds, wind, your own breath and your gurgling stomach.

But, I sure hope that rock shows still rock.
