This whole project started from an idea on sonar sound and how the effects of the militaries from around the world using sonar for locating exactly where they are in the sea and the distance they have between one another or the sea bed and surrounding rock faces etc.
With regards to the effects it has on the underwater mammals and other animals was not a strong enough idea or possibly provide enough substantial amount of evidence to carry out a fully fledged sound project as the only sound aspect of the project would be that of sonar.
So for this to be a plausible sound project the main idea had to change to something that involved more of a sound aspect , so keeping with the idea of using a single or a group of underwater mammal the idea was review several times until it came to the final idea being discussed throughout this dissertation.
Over the course of this dissertation it will become clearer from the evidence presented throughout the sections/chapters in this dissertation; the main investigation within this project is to investigate the increase of noise pollution in the open ocean. The main type of noise pollution this dissertation will be highlighting is the increase of manmade noise pollution but for this to achieve to a high standard through the use of sound, so that it grabs the attention of the listener as well as promote the problem.
The plan for the final product for this project is an underwater soundscape which will have the listener believe they are lying or sitting on the killer whales back as the killer whale makes its journey across the ocean and they will hear every little sound as the sound passes the whale no matter what direction the sound comes from.
There are many variables that need to be addressed such as the way sound travels in different mediums i.e. air, solid and liquid. Along with the sound design of any sound recording or sound effect used before aspect of the soundscape can be preformed.
One thing that made this project intriguing was a quote from Sir David Attenborough about learning more of what can be found in the natural world and by doing this can give anyone person the sense of achievement:
“An understanding of the natural world and what's in it is a source of not only a great curiosity but great fulfillment.”
