I found that the time for final project is so limited so I decide to combine it with my other class assignment, Data and Public.

Background

I live in 277 Gold Street. I am on the 9th floor. When I first come to new york and I am having a hard time to adapt to all the noise. Ambulance and police cars are very common.
I am thinking about why I am suffering from so much noise. Firstly, I am living in a noise zone because there is a police office and also a highway nearby. Secondly, New York is always in road construction. Thirdly, I have a huge window. This gives me good eyesight but the ability of blocking sound of glass is definitely weaker than walls. Fourthly, New York’s apartment structure is different from China because there are few housing communities.
Then something happens. I did not dream for the last semester. I think the noise is stoling my dream. I want to do something about noise.

some ideas

I want to show how the noise is disrupting my dream.
All the noises will take this image to reality and all the silent period would cultivate fantasy. I am also curious about if this project is taken to another place and what outcome it would generate.

about data part

I am gathering data myself by using a sound level detection meter.
If the noise is up to a level and I would record how long it is in my dataset and also its time.
