Sonic Design:Exercise 2

 Mastering Equalization Techniques: Removing Noise and Creating Unique Sound Environments

In the second exercise of our Sonic Design course, we delved deeper into audio equalization and manipulation. This time, our challenge involved applying different equalizer settings to transform a single piece of audio into various forms, using Adobe Audition.

The task was divided into three main objectives:

1.First, we had to reduce the sizzling noise within the provided audio.

2.Next, we worked on making the audio sound as if it was coming from inside a closet.

3.Third, we applied specific effects to make it sound like it was being transmitted through a walkie-talkie.

4.We also generated the sound as if it were coming from a washroom, complete with natural echo.

5.Lastly, we made the audio resemble the sound heard in a stadium, capturing its vast and reverberant atmosphere.

This exercise taught us how to use equalizers creatively to match various environments and remove unwanted noise, making us more adept at manipulating sound. Below, I’ll share my approach and results for each scenario.
