The 4 ways sound affects us
Julian Treasure, a corporate consultant on sound environments, gave a TED talk explaining how we are influenced by sound in everyday life. It's a great, short and simple talk. I think this a very important topic and one that often goes unnoticed.
Some notes:
Most sounds in everyday life are accidental and unpleasant.
Four major ways it affects us:
- Psychological – breathing, heart rate, brainwaves
- 12 cycles per minute is soothing – waves, sleepers breathing
- Psychological – emotion, mental state etc
- Our feeling, mostly associated with music
- Cognitive – can’t listen to two things at once.
- You are 1/3 as productivity in shared, noisy spaces. Inappropriate retail sounds decreases sales 28%.
- Behavior
- The actions or reactions of a person
I come in conclusion that curiosity in sound are affected by psychological and behavior effects, we tend to notice strange/unusual noise in our normal environment, often lead to our curiosity to find the source of the sound or to find out where the strange/unusual noise come from.
