The Museum of endangered sounds (Engl. "Museum of Endangered Sounds" ) is a Since January 2012, existing virtual tones Museum, which is led by Brendan Chilcutt. The museum has set itself the task of protecting the noises from digital and non-digital devices that are no longer produced from extinction.
description
The museum already includes thirty noises made by devices that are no longer manufactured. They can be listened to in an endless loop on the museum website . Chilcutt has also set up the possibility within his museum for everyone to send him further endangered noises via email .
Collected tones (selection)
Brendan wants to prevent familiar noises like that of a music cassette being wound, the rattling of a film projector or the sound of a dot matrix printer from disappearing from the everyday world.
