Heathrow to pipe ‘sounds of an airport’ around airport
Heathrow Airport has announced a new initiative to pipe the ambient sounds of an airport throughout its terminals and other areas. The project, known as “SoundEscapes,” is set to be implemented in the upcoming months at the airport in London, England.
According to Heathrow officials, the aim of this project is to create a more immersive and realistic experience for passengers, especially for those who may have missed traveling during the recent pandemic restrictions. The sounds will include aircraft take-offs, landings, announcements, and other noises typically heard in an airport environment.
While some may see this project as a way to enhance the passenger experience and bring back a sense of normalcy to air travel, others have raised concerns about the potential noise pollution and its impact on people’s well-being. Critics argue that the constant exposure to artificial sounds of an airport could be stressful, especially for those who are already anxious about flying.
Heathrow Airport has assured the public that the sounds will be played at a reasonable volume and that passengers will have the option to opt-out if they prefer a quieter environment. The airport believes that this initiative will not only improve the overall passenger experience but also showcase the unique atmosphere of an airport.
The implementation of the “SoundEscapes” project is scheduled to begin later this year and will be evaluated based on passenger feedback and its impact on the airport environment.
