SOUND AFFECTS How Sound Shapes Our Lives, Our Wellbeing and Our Planet

Author Julian Treasure narrates his audiobook on sound with a deep reverence for the topic. Fans of Carl Sagan's ability to make scientific discussions approachable will enjoy Treasure's work. Sound encompasses so much of our natural and human environments--from music and storytelling to the way we design our work and living spaces. Treasure's fascinating research delves into how our design choices often fail to consider the impact of noise, as anyone who has worked in an open office plan can attest. Treasure then takes listeners on a wavelength journey from the depths of the oceans to the farthest reaches of outer space. The audiobook includes various sound clips, enhancing the listening experience. Fittingly, Treasure's voice is clear and natural. S.P.C. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2025]
