The document summarizes a student's proposal for a project on noise pollution. The proposal aims to address noise pollution through an interactive installation. The student conducted research on noise, including defining it and identifying sources of noise pollution in urban areas. Methodology included surveys and interviews to understand public perspectives on noise. The concept involves using floor projections to trigger visuals and sounds representing different streets, allowing viewers to experience noise from those areas.
