Abstract

The melodramatic clang of the old style police car bell, the tranquil tick of a grandfather clock; the warm purr of the old dialling tone - all formerly familiar, all under threat of extinction or already consigned to the sound file marked nostalgia. Simon Fanshawe examines the idea of a changing soundscape and asks whether we care about the passing of evocative sounds, and looks at which sounds will immortalise the 21st Century.
