1. THE AURAL REALM: SOUND, SILENCE, MUSIC, AND NOISE

2. The sense of hearing is one of the most precious gifts God has given to man. However, most of the time we tend to take this gift for granted.

3. With our busy schedules, we do not have much time to enjoy quiet and solitude, or hear and appreciate distant sounds from faraway places. People

6. CONCEPT OF AURAL REALM

7. SOUND SOUND is a wave, a mechanical disturbance in matter that originates from a source and outwards. When two or more objects collide they form vibrations that are transmitted through other mediums. Hearing is the sense that perceives sounds. The ears also relay the sounds to the brain, which processes these as information.

8. SILENCE SILENCE is the condition or quality of being quiet; it is basically the absence of audible sound or noise. In music, silence is also very important-parts where there is an absence of sound are as important and meaningful as the parts where there is sound

9. MUSIC MUSIC is the art of organizing and putting together an array of sounds into a meaningful, perceptual experience. Music usually follows certain conventional patterns to convey a message and to express aesthetic, cultural, or artistic purposes. Music may be classified into various genres such as classical, popular, jazz, folk, and country.

10. NOISE NOISE is any sound that lacks reference to musical quality and is generally considered unpleasant or unbearable to the human ear.
