For Arturel, we wanted to make noise pollution impossible to ignore.

So we did something simple: mounted a decibel meter directly onto a camera and took it for a walk through New York. Subways. Sirens. Traffic. Construction. Every step through the city made the numbers climb.

'The Sound of NYC' turns the volume of the city into something you can actually see — a playful way of revealing just how loud everyday life really is.
