Have you ever been in a big city and just stood at an intersection a listened. Literally thousands of audible stimuli enter our inner ear every second. City dwellers call it city sound, country folk will most likely call it plain old noise. While I do enjoy the sounds of a city, it is probably more closer defined as noise rather than music. Back when I was in high school my buddy and I went downtown Chicago, parking our car at 5:30 AM to make it to a sporting goods store for a giant ski sale. We parked in the vicinity of 300 block of South LaSalle and walked to 600 South only to figure out we needed to be at 600 North. So before the homeless were even awake, my buddy and I are trekking our way North in Chicago. What doe this have to do with noise? Here it is... During our lengthy walk in the early morning hours there was no "city sound". It was just as dead quiet as if you were in Podunk (yes Vern, there are actually five Podunk' in the U.S.) Michigan with one exception. We could hear the solenoids click so the street lights would change color. Silly but true!

Photographically Noise is very different. Read tomorrows post and we will get into it.
