Sound Files

I have collected the sounds from four dominant points off of the girls mental maps. They are the girls home, the supermarket, the travelling route and the university. On listening to the different sound files I hope that other people will be able to comprehend where the sounds were recorded in the city by comparing them to their own mental maps.

Here I have posted the sounds, see what you think? Where do they take you?

In the home example you can hear faint music, a television, girls voices, a kettle boiling, a tap running...

In the supermarket example you can hear the constant beep beep beep of items being scanned...

In the travelling example you can hear cars driving past and traffic lights informing the girls when to cross...

In the university example you can hear lots of voices in discussion, lockers being shut, keys being typed...

At first I was a bit disappointed by the sound quality of my outdoor travelling files as the wind was incredibly strong each day I recorded and can be heard quite clearly drowning out other lesser noises.

Yet even though the sound is less clear it gives a better reading into the actual qualities that the girls were experiencing whilst travelling along their mental maps, it speaks of what the particular day was like, weather conditions and all.
