Neat Idea: Crowdsourcing to Locate Silence

article Distributed Knowledge, Tools
Summary Crowdsourcing project locates areas of silence in crowded urban environments to promote "sonic health"
Description Have you ever just wanted to be able to hear your own thoughts for a few minutes? Noise is everywhere, and sometimes we don’t even notice it until it drowns out everything else. And if you live in a city, it’s practically impossible to escape. So where’s a good place to read? To meditate? To enjoy a peaceful moment without the ever-present wail of the real world? Jason Sweeney hopes he has the answer with the Stereopublic project, which simply uses crowdsourcing to find areas of silence within a bustling city.
