like me next to a busy road you'll know the frustration of having to cope with noisy costs passing by night and today but maybe just maybe they'll be a time when all those noisy engines will be replaced by electric vehicles but what sounds like a blessing could actually be a curse because electric vehicles are so quiet protests trains and cyclists can't hear them coming and that's dangerous and that is why the e.u. is requiring an acoustic warning device leaving it to design us to come up with a fake yet authentic sound. for sound designers combustion engine noises are as complex as symphonies. and they provide the basis for developing artificial motor sounds for electric cars at present they sound like this. when did you know we're going to sit at the mating

wants to make the world sound better and cooler for us all it's about safety so you have to be able to hear if an electric car is just 10 meters away heading at you or 20 kilometers an hour. and the sound has to be distinctive and easy to hear those fish could of. sound design or just want to shape the experience of those inside the car as well as outside it's also about branding. the spot by my 50 years ago most eighty's had a special distinctive sound and it had to do with the substance of the cars the sound was authentic just like it also came to stand for stability and safety those times are over now you can fake everything so you keep wondering does anything actually sound like what it really is just. driving pleasure reliability safety all that has to be suggested by the sound of a car mom. but i

think there's a lot of research being done in this area and what they always find is that people customers car buyers what a car does sound like a car that's part of the culture that's what they've learned. so when an electric car sets off in the future it might sound something like this. but sound designers think that won't be the last word in the matter they 1st see further developments. going to sue and the next generation won't care about cars making sounds like combustion engines once there are only electric cars on the streets they want to expect any extra added sounds that just won't matter. so we can start over with fresh ideas. why shouldn't a chorus sound like

universal music now he's hoping to match these numbers with his new song. i used to release something every 2 or 3 weeks because it didn't really need to be perfect. when i finished a song i just wanted to get it out there 2 or 3 weeks later come out with the next thing. but now i. on quality and that takes a lot more time than. only a handful of other artists have achieved similar famers like learn ask x. with old town road. brown with a get up so there are. they all went viral on tick talk and became stars. i really would have liked to talk to someone at the big music label like warner or sony because surely they must be looking at to talk to increase their digital sales no one buy c.d.'s anymore but sadly they weren't really open to discuss their

strategies so instead asked around in the german music industry association. when a new player appears on the market it's often a small startup that finds a new and exciting way of distributing music then people meet and talk about it. everyone wants to be the 1st to really grasp what it's about companies get very interested in it. and then the market has to agree on a price because music has a value and a price and for music companies digital earnings have become their most important source of revenue. and that's why they're defending it. and using industry 1st started making money from streaming in 2005 and profits continue to grow 10 years later turnover had reached 2600000000 euros by 2018 it

was a phony almost as much as all other music formats put together. digitalisation isn't something that you would cheat once and for all and then say so that's done we've gone digital it's an ongoing process we live in a world where people are now thinking about how to link virtual reality and music. more expand the possibilities of music listening there are still many avenues to explore. for the moment the latest digital craze take talk seems to stop with. that's despite cases of political censorship and fears about chinese government access to user data. there are actually 2 versions of tech talk and one is only for china it's called the subject even stricter censorship talk we know in the
4:48 pm
rest of the world. talks owner is testing its streaming service in india and indonesia in 6 days it had more than $100000.00 downloads but doesn't want to produce his music specifically for digital platforms. of course you can create songs made for tick talk with a short and snappy intro or heart. beats but i think you can get any song across on tech talk. i don't tailor my songs to words when i hear a beat i like i take it and make a song out of it. it's that simple nowadays i wonder what be told from the ad you would have done with a tool like to talk but then again the music they composed was meant to be played in concert halls designed to carry the sound all the way up to the gallery but one
4:49 pm
thing is still true today the right sound makes all the difference. a busy more with stores and shop is and they make plenty of noise it is pretty loud in general and there's room. it's too loud too much sound as reflected for me it feels overwhelming. durk noise listens for a living the physicist advises builders an architect on all things acoustic for example on how to lower noise levels. in a historical context people always interpret noise as trouble right something's going on dinosaurs coming or a volcano is erupting it causes an instinct to flee to cape town when it's really noisy we have these associations with pressure with

a stressful situation. searing airport in switzerland it's pretty noisy at least for the people who live nearby but inside all is calm and quiet acoustics were taken into account in the airports designed with the key concept as isolation there are several layers of glass built in here one after the other and taken together they provide a very high level of sound proofing inside you really aren't subjected to any adverse of facts from the noise levels you'd hear outside. but what about the more than 13000000 people who stream through the airport every year surely they make a lot of noise. the ceiling is clouded with sheets of metal and some of them are perforated those perforations allow the sound waves to be absorbed reacting to. the quiet atmosphere pe solve the more comfortable passengers feel the more likely they are to open their wallets. and like many other factors in airport planning
4:51 pm
acoustics play an important role in security. we have a loud speaker system that 1st and foremost has to issue clearly understandable announcements this device here represents the human ear. or. how well colonel ounce mintz be heard there are ways to measure it and operating permits for an airport is only issued when it meets the criteria set down in what's called the speech transmission index. in airports the goal we shoot for is 70 percent when you measure here you see that the value actually exceeds that by a little bit just human. spirit airport is just one of noise projects he's also been involved in planning cutters national museum as well as a stadium in brazil and a concert house in israel. the field of acoustics is booming
4:52 pm
demand for expertise is on the rise still in. this i think that how a room is perceived has grown in overall importance in the last few years visual characteristics still have to be harmonious there's no question that still an architect's primary business but air quality temperature and acoustics are also now key aspects of room design. this is especially true when music is involved. in the past stations had to calculate complex models a concept. but today computer programs can tell them what a performance will sound like from any seat in the audience before construction even begins. to militarize will become
4:53 pm
a simulation programs that are used everywhere by acoustics experts nowadays have been around since the 1990 s. and they are certainly used by architects in planning large scale projects but in many other cases for example in planning restaurants the acoustic aspects are still largely unexplored acoustic book and so there's plenty left to do in the world of acoustic design. our resident wise enough to guess it is important to take a true break during the working day and he demonstrates the benefits by heading to a tranquil refuge far from the office. can you take care of their and they're. not sure i can. conference time. i could take a look at their says i called you back here this needs doing this has to be
