From the serene melodies of a wren singing in Cleveland to the deafening blast of a Metropolitan Police air raid siren, it has always played a significant role in our lives. In 1891, Henry Stacy Marks captured the essence with his artwork depicting a bustling Select Committee meeting. Fast forward to future New York, where the cacophony of city life reaches new heights. But noise isn't limited to human-made sounds; nature too has its own symphony. The growl of a Brown Bear on Kodiak Island and the majestic roar of Red Deer stags echo through their respective habitats, captivating our senses. In Havana's Sloppy Joes Bar in 1951, laughter and lively conversations mingled with clinking glasses as patrons reveled in the vibrant atmosphere. Meanwhile, Bagpiper Craig McIntosh practiced his craft amidst peaceful fields, filling the air with haunting melodies that transport us to distant lands. Even animals contribute their unique voices to this grand chorus. Louis Wain's whimsical illustration portrays Daddy Cat blowing his trumpet with feline finesse. During times of war, noise takes on an entirely different meaning. Canadian gunners at Vimy Ridge unleashed thunderous artillery fire while U. S. Marine Corps Drum and Bugle Corps performed solemn tunes that stirred patriotic emotions. Whether it is harmonious or chaotic, soothing or jarring, noise surrounds us every day – shaping our experiences and evoking powerful emotions within us.
