Listening to "The Sonic Wonders of the World" - Trevor Cox

Sounds are something that everybody encounters nearly constantly, but few people stop and ponder the way an audio engineer might. Trevor Cox wrote The Sound Book, drawing attention to our appetite for audio, as well as what he refers to as "the sonic wonders of the world." Cox highlights Virginia's Luray Caverns, which is home to a "Stalacpipe Organ," and a grooved highway that plays The William Tell Overture when driven upon as unique celebrations to sound that also might help get his audience pondering the audio they encounter each day.
