Vor den Zeiten von Industrialisierung und Automobilisierung war auch die Stadt akustisch in Vordergrund, Mittelgrund und Hintergrund gegliedert: Vorne z.B. das Gespräch, das man selber führt, im mittleren Umfeld die Vögel im Garten oder der Hufschmied um die Ecke und im weiteren Umfeld die Glocken aller Kirchen oder das stadtweite Hahnenkonzert. [G] Before industrialisation and a universal reliance on the car, cities had an acoustic structure based on foreground, centreground and background sound: in the foreground, there was the conversation which the individual was momentarily engaged in, for example; in the centreground, there were the birds in the garden or the blacksmith round the corner, with the cities' church bells or the crowing of the cockerels forming the acoustic backdrop in the distance.
