Extract

The world of hearing is made up of two types of sound— on the one hand, that which provides communication, be it in the form of speech, music or the noise of a car or dog; on the other hand, a noise which interferes with that message, or a sound consisting of an unwanted message, intruding upon a person's thought processes or sleep. It is always difficult to separate these two functions, since one man's noise is another man's message, and this is particularly so for quiet noises heard at night or occurring sharply to frighten and alarm. It is for this reason that the law regarding noise has been less specific than in other fields and it is for this reason that seldom have any clearly defined limits been specified.

Author's footnote: —This Lecture was given before the publication of the Wilson Committee Report on the Problems of Noise. The general views expressed are not altered, although the introduction of “Noise and Number Index” takes the argument a little further than is given in this lecture.—E.J.R.
