Noise regulation

times, there is a distinction of a Resident Assistant being explicitly responsible for enforcing proper conduct. This distinction, referred to as “duty”, is required of all Resident Assistants. When a Resident Assistant is on duty, this individual must carry a designated phone that is advertised as an emergency phone throughout the residential area, as well as perform rounds. Rounds are periods of walking through the buildings in a residential area in order to monitor building-wide activity. On a round, a Resident Assistant will walk through every floor of a building, check communal bathrooms, inspect all exterior doors, and interfere when a potential policy violation or emergency is identified. Potential policy violations include excessive noise after 12:00am on weekends, the presence of alcohol in a room of somebody under the age of 21, the possession or use of drugs, and phrases or images that are bias-related in nature. After completing one academic year at the University of Connecticut, residents have the option to apply to be a Resident Assistant. Typically, the application process entails creating a resume and cover letter, complying with a conduct history check, and interviewing with current residential life staff. Once selected to be a Resident Assistant, an individual is assigned to a residential area on campus. Though individuals going through the Resident Assistant application process are able to preference some aspects of their location aspects, assignments are…

In 2012 a study out of Newcastle University revisited the land of gross noises and subjected 16 people to 74 different sounds from running water to the scrape of knives on glass, asking them to rank them on a scale from pleasant to excruciating. [pic: PD] Once again, the worst of the sounds fell in that bad-Hertz sweet spot, but more interesting than how the offensive sounds ranked was what they did to the peoples’ brains. With the help of an MRI machine, researchers kept tabs on which brain…

the familiar and the ordinary strange again--as the Russian formalists used to put it, by "alienating" the reader from the tyranny of the compellingly familiar. It offers alternative worlds that put the actual one in a new light.” (Bruner, pg. 12) Good sound design, through surprise, expectation, and silence serves well the purpose of vanquishing, with fiction, the compellingly familiar tyrant of quotidian reality. Everyone loves a good bang. Thus, with a good sound design, the unexpected…

Silence, after a hard day of school, all I wanted was to relax to the ballads of 50 cent, and I got silence. The bass must have shifted an exposed wire and shorted the amplifier, I fixed this a few times before that it almost became routine, but it was not a shorted wire. Troubleshoot, no solution, what could it be? My set up was almost perfect, lacking solely in achievable decibels. Second hand children science encyclopedias along with Questions and Answers books got me this far and for a…

Now my dad stopped chewing tobacco around a year ago. Great, I know! To fill the empty void of chewing tobacco he has taken up chewing gum, while I am happy that this change has been made, it can be known to drive me crazy. I’m not sure what’s worse the snapping of the gum after a bubble or the chewing noise in a small quiet room or car, either way it drives me up a wall. Now the noise of gum has bothered me since like middle school, and I know it bothers quite a few of people, but it’s just…

I awoke quickly in the pitch black bedroom from a sound down the hall, my best friend laying beside me still in a deep sleep. As I lay still, (deathly still, deathly quiet, lifeless) I think to my self, “ am I hearing things, have I gone crazy?” (delirious, insane) I hear the noise coming from down the hall, I jump up and cautiously walk toward the bedroom door, the slightest light shining off from my alarm clock is glaring threw the dark (Lightless) bedroom. Grasping the bedroom door handle,…

Before embarking on my soundwalk, I had a few basic expectations of sounds I would encounter, mostly based on prior memories of wandering MIT’s campus. I knew what the soft, low murmurs should sound like when traversing the corridors. I knew to expect the clip-clop of hard stepping walkers in the silent tunnels, and the high pitched buzzing and whining of electrical components overhead. Outside, the wind would make soft, mid pitched whuuu and shhh noises, which would serve as background for…

not what the piece about. I believe that John Cage's 4 "33" is about silence and possibly time. The first value that I think is significant to the composition is silence. When I think of the word silence, nothingness comes to mind. What I mean by nothingness is no noise; you hear not one person or any other kind noise around you.…

Since there are 4 phases it is called as 4-PSK or Quadrature PSK systems [6][7]. 3. QAM: QAM improves the noise immunity of the system by allowing the signal vectors to differ, not only in their phase but also in amplitudes. It utilizes carrier phase shifting and synchronous detection to permit two DSB signals to occupy the same frequency band. The two DSB signals are orthogonal to each other. IV.
