在这篇文章中，我们介绍了一个试验性的声波空间--移动消噪吊舱(MNAP)--2014年12月在印度德里建造并使用了两周时间。这个跨学科的项目涉及一名作曲家、设计师、木匠、发展学者、电影制作人、平面设计师和社会学家，试图调查包括按喇叭(印度城市最常见的声音之一)在内的噪音是如何被感知的。田野调查显示，噪音是一种复杂的背景、空间和个人体验，既与身份和阶级有关，也与习惯有关，与经济不平等密切相关，与社会正义内在联系。文章建议，降低噪音水平的尝试需要考虑到它的意义和地位--谁以及如何构建和复制关于降低噪音的叙述。
In this article we present an experimental sonic space—the mobile noise abatement pod (mNAP)—constructed and used over a two‐week period in Delhi, India, during December 2014. The interdisciplinary project, involving a composer, designer, carpenter, development scholar, filmmaker, graphic designer and sociologist, sought to investigate how noise, including honking (one of the most prevalent sounds in Indian cities), is perceived. The fieldwork reveals noise to be a complex contextual, spatial and personal experience that is as much about habit as it is about identity and class, intimately related to economic inequality and inherently connected to social justice. The article suggests that attempts to reduce levels of noise need to take into account its meaning and position—by whom and how narratives of noise reduction are constructed and reproduced.
