Document Summary
Auralizaion" is a term coined by architect mendall kleiner for acousic simulaions of rooms and buildings. Referring to inner sound and sounding, or sounds and sounding heard mentally. The sonosphere is the sonorous or sonic envelope of the earth. Humans sense the sonosphere according to the bandwidth and resonant frequencies and mechanics of the ear, skin, bones, meridians. The word imaginaion is used with reference to all senses. The sonosphere includes all sounds that can be perceived by humans, animals, plants, birds, trees, and machines. Human ears are limited to approximately 20hz to 20khz. We can look into the micro world with our microscopes. We can listen far beyond and below the human range with microphones. Perhaps new data could be collected for arisic purposes and for scieniic and medical purposes through expanding percepion of the sonorous body. Most of the ime we shut out sound that is extraneous to our current purposes.
