Creating a Sonic Utopia
Our cities and towns sound different now than they did in the past, and the sound of our world is constantly changing. In a future sonic utopia, we can remove unwanted sounds like the screeching of the New York City subway and make transportation quieter with advancements such as maglev trains. Electric cars are already reducing noise pollution, and roads made with next-generation concrete surfaces are significantly quieter. Delivery drones, although currently noisy, can potentially be made quieter by taking inspiration from owls' flight feathers. The future of sound design involves targeted audio messages, real-time translation, and customizable experiences through integrated headphones and earbuds.
