wants to make the world sound better and cooler for us all it's about safety 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 fish kind of. sound design or just want to shake the experience of those inside a car as well as outside it's also about branding. the spot i'm 50 years ago most cities had a special distinctive sound and it had to do with the substance of the cars the sound was authentic just like i also came to stand for stability and safety those times 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. there's

wine if we hear french music playing. according to another study we spend an average of 6 euros $75.00 on wine when we have classical music while we'll only pay an average of $1.00 euro $95.00 if pop music is play but we don't buy more bottles for complaining sounds people rubbing their hands together drumming on tin cans accompanied by whispering voices. some people say any s.m.r. videos on youtube calm them down or make their scouts feel all tingly. some fast food outlets or do it yourself stores have already used these kinds of videos in advertising campaigns. and by the way researchers say dairy cows produce 7.5 percent more milk when beethoven is played to them than when no music is played . whereas popular music for example seems to cut normal yields by some 2.5 percent

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 the song i just wanted to get it out there 2 or 3 weeks later come out with the next thing. but now i. focus on quality and that takes a lot more time than. only a handful of other artists have achieved similar famers like x. with old town road. blank or brown with a get up so there. they all went viral on tick tock and became stars. i really would have liked to talk to someone at a 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
2:46 am
weren't really open to discuss their strategies so instead i 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 the most important source of revenue. and that's why they're defending it. and use it industry 1st started making money from streaming in 2005 and profits continue to grow 10 years later turnover has reached 2600000000 euros that's when
2:47 am
it was burning 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 stoppable. that's despite cases of political censorship and fears about chinese government access to user data. there are actually 2 versions of to talk and one is only for china it's called the subject even stricter censorship talk we know in the
2:48 am
rest of the world. talks own a bike is testing its streaming service in india and indonesia in 6 days it had more than 100000 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. radio i don't tailor my songs to it 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
2:49 am
thing is still true today the right sound makes all the difference. of busy more with stores than shoppers and they make plenty of noise. 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 a 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 dinosaurus coming or a volcano is erupting it causes an instinct to flee to kick in when it's really noisy we have these associations with pressure with

a stressful situation. syria airport in switzerland is pretty noisy at least for the people who live nearby but inside all is calm and quiet acoustics were taken into account in the airport's design the key concept is isolation and 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 effects from the noise levels you'd hear outside. but what about the more than 30000000 people who stream through the airport every year surely they make a lot of noise. the ceiling is clad with sheets of metal and some of them are perforated those perforations allow the sound waves to be absorbed to be extinct. the quiet atmosphere pay solve the more comfortable passengers feel the more likely they are to open their wallets. and like many other factors in airport planning
2:51 am
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 current nouns ments be heard there are ways to measure it and operating permits for an airport it's only issued when it meets 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 to give. serious airport is just one of noise projects he's also been involved in planning cutter's national museum as well as a stadium in brazil and a concert house in israel. the field of acoustics is booming
2:52 am
demand for expertise is on the rise. 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 ok stations had to calculate complex models a concert. but today computer programs can tell them what a performance will sound like from any seat in the audience before construction even begins. to militants will promise simulation programs that are used everywhere
2:53 am
by acoustics experts nowadays have been around since the 1990 s. and they are certainly used by architects in planning large scale project but in many other cases for example in planning restaurants the acoustic aspects are still largely unexplored acoustic. 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 so i called you back here this needs doing this is to be finished
