A factory worker, Tamsui, 11am

When visiting a factory, I asked a worker what his favourite sound is in the factory (this is an old and boring question often seen in soundscape studies but still, very accessible and useful!). I wondered if it should be the bell of lunch break. He replied yes but then hesitated for a second. He said, 'oh, no. It should be the bell of going home.' He explained to me that the bell of lunch break is ok but when he thought about the routine dishes offered by the same restaurant, he lost the excitement.

The sensation of listening is connected by his appetite?! Interesting!
