My Favorite Noise

youTube user Not Quite Reality (1) made this quirky little vid about his favorite noise. He's not the most credible source for what good noise should be -- he lists "eating Oreos makes you run faster" under his profile's cheat sheet of 'Fun Facts'. But, he is from Albuquerque, which is undoubtable legitimate.

The video reminded me of why youTube blew up. It's hilarious to see what people will do with a camera in their own homes. It also reminded me of what my favorite noises are. I've been making mental notes of these while walking around town. To answer Not Quite Reality's question, currently my favorite noise is the air intake vent on the west side of Popejoy Hall. I take my smoke breaks there frequently and have become very comfortable with how the air moves into the building. The motion and subsequent noise is almost surreal.

  1. I'm find this blog's topic way interesting. As a former music major, I'm fascinating by this stream of creativity. Well, I ran across Printer Jam and immediately thought of you.

  2. How funny... I just finished eating with my family and one of my sisters chews her food like that and it is one this that really gets to me. I cant stand it I always have to tell her to chew with her mouth close or stop chewing like a cow.
