Question 2: What is the difference between a random sound and an organized sound to you?  Do all sounds have meaning? Do all sounds have musical meaning? 

Write and post between 80-100 words in response to the above question and respond to two other posts in the week one discussion board.

2.Additionally please respond to those 2 comments
separately (4-5 sentences EACH)

a)I think that all sounds have the same level of meaning. For example, the sound of traffic is no more meaningful than the sound of a trumpet. However, listening to a song is more meaningful than listening to traffic because in a song sounds are selectively put together but in traffic the sound is random. Therefore, even the sound of traffic could be turned into a song if it was put together for that purpose.

b) I believe all sound has a meaning on some level. Sound has a purpose. It is used with music for emotional pleasure and worship. It is used to alarm and notify people in danger. The purpose of traffic sounds can be to notify us of a moving vehicle. Listening to traffic is not interesting to me . I find no pleasure in listening to traffic. Traffic noise is not music to my ears. I actually enjoy music not traffic noise.
