Week 2 - AA1 - Environment Analysis

At first, I tried to record the sound outside my house, but it didn't have any interesting sounds at all, so I went out to Grenfell Street, Rundle Mall and North Terrace (corner of Kintore Ave.) and recorded 45 seconds of sound clips. The first one was too noisy and the second one, again, hadn't got much to analyse. So, I decided upon the third one, which has slightly more to analyse.

The sound has a lot of noise ambience (perhaps due to the poor quality of recording), and on top of that, it's very dense and loud, hiding most of the other thing under it. Traffic beep (indicating red light) can be heard almost throughout, except for the few seconds when the fast traffic beep (indicating green light) is sounded. There are a small portion of chattering and my cough towards the end. Skateboarding sound can be heard getting louder and softer due to the distance it is from the recorder. A car honk can also be heard in the beginning.

Soundscape.
