My absolute favorite experience during all of my treks occurred during trek01. While searching for interesting sounds, guided only by what I was hearing through my headphones, I found myself inside of the lobby of a high school.
Above me was a series of bright iridescent lights, all emitting a boisterous hum. As I looked around at the various people occupying the hallways, perhaps heading to night classes or after school activities, I couldn't help but wonder how they could stand spending time in a building with such a loud, practically ear-piercing buzz. Perhaps after spening enough time here, people just adjust to the sound and don't notice it anymore.
Just then, a janitor approached me, weary of what I was doing in his hallway.
"Excuse me, sir, may I ask what you're doing here? There's no loitering allowed in this building."
I explained to him that I was only here for a school project, and I wouldn't be here long. He told me that in order to record here, I needed permission from the school's administration. I told him I understood, and began to pack my gear up to leave.
Just before leaving, I asked the janitor, "Doesn't that buzzing annoy you while you're working here?"
To which he replied, "What buzzing?"
