How do we process Urban noise ? Secret revealed !!!

Standing wave 

How do we process Urban Noise ?Secret revealed !!!
water flowing at a certain velocity from  a specific height and even birds chirp 
 has the same frequency  as Urban noise in this case Car honking Aeroplane noise ,etc  so when two sound of the same frequency are merged IN THE opposite direction  STANDING WAVES ARE CREATED.
WHAT ARE STANDING WAVES ?standing wave – also known as a stationary wave – is a wave that remains in a constant position.This phenomenon can occur because the medium is moving in the opposite direction to the wave, or it can arise in a stationary medium as a result of interference between two wa  ves traveling in opposite directions.

noise measure at kathipara site


Ancient temples Secret revealed !!

Why 110 Hz?


Many archaeo-acoustic investigations of prehistoric, megalithic structures have identified acoustic resonances at frequencies of 95-120 Hz, particularly near 110-12 Hz, all representing pitches in the human vocal range. These chambers may have served as centers for social or spiritual events, and the resonances of the chamber cavities might have been intended to support human ritual chanting.
Findings are compatible with relative deactivation of language centers and a shift in prefrontal activity that may be related to emotional processing. These intriguing pilot findings suggest that the acoustic properties of ancient structures may influence human brain function, and suggest that chanting might have been used to enhance right brain activities.

form from sound

Sound can create form
the way sound is articulated around us helps our aural sense to perceive it in such a way that it tends to visualize the pattern in which it moves
here we have tried to create a helical form through the buzzers arrrnged and programmed to be articulated inside a glass box .so when a user is made to listen ,he percieves the sphere around him not the cuboid .
