Noise pollution is an invisible health hazard, contributing to hypertension, disease, and chronic stress. For one evening, we will offer ourselves and our city a fleeting refuge: a collective acoustic reset that masks the urban din with a soothing, cascading wave of white noise. Find Your Frequency Whether it’s pink, brown, velvet, silver, or deep space — there is a texture of noise for everyone. We invite you to explore the spectrum: chilly, pearly, chalky, or oceanic. - Bring a Bluetooth speaker and your choice of white noise on repeat (found on any streaming platform or self-generated). - We will play our contributions simultaneously, blending into an ever-shifting timbre of complex, random sound. - Save music, hollering, and bell ringing for other rides, this is an intentional break from punctuated auditory triggers. - Prepare to adjust your volume to comfortably mask background sound. Meet at Lovejoy Fountain, a natural white noise source, to tune our frequencies. From there, we’ll flow like a mechanical fountain through Downtown, spreading our loving sound spectrum. We’ll conclude at Duckworth Dock for sunset and a river swim, emerging from our temporary noise cocoon to rejoin the city's dynamic cacophony refreshed and recalibrated.
