DIN The noisy neighbours and the noise musicians UPROAR The producers, the protesters and the polluters CLAMOUR The instigators and the investigators TUMULT             Vernon & Burns, thinking aloud, offer a quiet meditation on noise. Extracts from interviews with noise pollution officers from Dundee City Council's Environmental Health Department are combined with found sounds, songs, field recordings and other voices to create this experimental live radio piece. Part audio collage, part documentary this is an unorthodox investigation into attitudes towards extraneous noise and noise pollution. --- Performed and produced by Barry Burns & Mark Vernon.
