Description

Introduction Indonesian cities are noisy. At least, they are noisy compared with cities in its Southeast Asian neighbours, Singapore and Malaysia, and the two largest countries in Asia, India and China, both of which have exercised a profound cultural influence on Indonesia over the centuries. (2) In this article I will explore the soundscape of Indonesian cities: What are the main components of the soundscape and how do residents experience urban sounds? The soundscape has changed in the course of history through the interconnected processes of modernization and globalization, and yet, the Indonesian urban soundscape has kept its distinctive character. This article is an attempt to see whether social scientists can study something as intangible as noise in a meaningful way. The article stands in the tradition of the study of changing townscapes or urban space and also builds on the study of soundscapes. These two streams of research, on urban space and soundscapes, seemed to have ignored each other totally.
