On this podcast, I agree with the points made. It’s almost like we’re all trapped in our own worlds. There seems to be nobody looking up from their smartphones and noticing what’s going on around them. We prefer, as humans to separate ourselves from one another. We do this often to escape publicity and stay out of trouble within NYC, this way life can be seen more than often. We have public transit in new york, which is called the MTA. You can go anywhere in the city on the MTA. The fee cost $2.75. You’ll see everything but not just musicians, singers, and homeless people on the MTA. Our lives in NYC are closely linked to noise. Every day we listen to the sound. “Noises are the sounds we have learned to ignore”, as Schaffer says. One way people, like myself, stop hearing noises is by using noise-cancellation inside headphones such as AirPods pro. I prefer to disregard the noise to sum it up, and maybe sometimes I see the noise as a phase of life.
