Exploring Sonic Memories

Sound Has its Power, part 1

We are strolling through the soundscapes of cities. From noise to auditory pleasure, from cacophony to harmony. Which sounds disturb us most, and why? What are pleasant sound vibrations like, and how do we compose our inner sound images? What happens in our brain, what therapeutic mechanisms do sound and music have, and when is noise harmful to health?
