Dear friends & nature recordists
I=B9m carrying a small research on the perception of airplanes sounds for m=
y
MA at the University of Arts in Berlin (UDK).
This is not a research on noise pollution, but rather on how the presence o=
f
airplanes in the sky changes the perception of one own=B9s body and
environment.
I believe that the experience and listening skills of the members of this
list could be very helpfull for my purpose and therefore I invite those who
are interested to answer the questions below. (please reply directly to my
email adress : and don=B9t hesitate to ask for clarificatio=
ns
if necessary.)
Many thanks in advance and best regards !
