11:06 PM. Noise: A Human History - The Rise of the Machines

A series of narratives that explore the dawn of the modern age, when science and engineering and the growth of cities combined to make the world emphatically noisier- and we started to worry about its ill-effects. This theme centres around the sudden and dramatic amplification of the world that came with the rise of factories, cities, machines - and the growing anxiety about humans losing control over their environment and needing to protect listening and quietude as dying phenomena (5 of 6, BBC)
