Meaning of Noise

Noise is all around us and we usually ignore them, like the loud conversations on phone, children crying, playing and so on.

But somehow, some of the sounds have meaning and we usually still ignore them. During this period, it is the time of the SU and affiliated society elections. CityU and other universities have the traditions that all the proposed societies yelling out slogans to attract people's attention. And all of these sounds are interesting that what they are yelling is just like they will having a fight (if you don't know Cantonese, although they are fighting to win in the elections!) or a demonstration. The sounds make people feel annoying and some people hate it.

Although we have the above feelings, still their sounds are very interesting that there are full of emotions. To some extent, they are successfully attracted us but the noisy messages are not communicated well to the voters. Of course, they are producing Low-fi sound which is so messy and people cannot really catch up what they are yelling. After hearing the following recording, sounds become Hi-fi and the messages are more clear by hearing them in headphone.
