I agree with the arguments made on this podcast. It is almost like we are all live in our on worlds. No one seems to look up from their phones and acknowledge what’s happening around them. As humans, we tend to isolate ourselves from each other. Sometimes we do this to avoid attention and to stay out of the trouble. This way of life can more than often be seen inside NYC. In New York, we have public transportation called the MTA. In the MTA you can go anywhere in the city. Paying a fee of 2.75$. You will see all but not limited to dancers, singers,  and homeless people all on the MTA. Noise is closely related to our lives in NYC. We listen to noises every day. As Schaffer says, “Noises are the sounds we have learned to ignore.” A way people avoid hearing noises including myself is by using noise cancellation inside headphones like AirPods. To sum it up I choose to ignore the noise, and maybe sometimes I consider the noise as a part of my life.
