PROJECT DESCRIPTION

A collaboration between Erica Walker, Researcher & Julio César Román, Artist

Sound is an ubiquitous urban environmental exposure. However, noise--defined as unwanted sound--is best described by those who live with it every single day of their lives. The goal our Community Sound Portrait Series is to put a human face to the city soundscape and gather a better understanding of how noise impacts residents in the Greater Boston Area, both positively and negatively.  The Community Sound Portrait Series is an online interactive exhibition of interviews, audio sound clips, noise measurements, and photographs of residents in the Greater Boston Area. These stories include residents in their neighborhoods as well as in their places of employment. We invite you to read and listen to their stories!

World Health Organization’s Community Noise Guidelines:

  • Day: no louder than 55 dBA
  • Night: no louder than 45 dBA
