Naples is just great location in the certain sense of various noises: annoying or atmospheric, direct or ambient.
Passersby shuttlecock, bikes driven madly, loud voices, narrow lanes – all that puts you in search for shelter, but then you are not about finding it somewhere soon but struck at massive stream, people stream, endless one.
To take a notion, Naples nowadays is nothing else but a huge garbage spot cause obviously it ain’t got policy to latter’s utilization, which circumstance is followed with city turned green.
We learned Napoli a lot.
Does Booth of silence seem a certain solution?
Initial intuition would proclaim it provincial, but city’s speed and intensity declares the opposite.
Significantly, the city of Napoli is full of kiosks and booths sized differently, although, of no evident use, either abandoned or even ruined. What are they all for?
In fact, sound levels were extremely high out there.
An average cross with cars awaiting traffic light to turn green and then rushing forward impetuously would show up to some 94-98 dBc, which is a lot to hear, to feel, to realize.
That’s a typical funny posture for a Neapolitan to hunger for permission to start movement: they all run somewhere with no rational purpose and it’s often to watch them – regardless age, gender – returning quickly in no more than a couple of minutes… unless mega trucks.
Naples via Medina, 29 July, 2009 midday hour – LISTEN TO IT!
