"In the present day urban setting, the amount and variety of stimuli can overwhelm our senses. In our subconscious struggle to process the sights, sounds, and smells of the city environment, some of the stimuli are often overlooked, neglected, and ignored. The Department of Sound Welfare is committed to giving equal opportunity to underprivileged sounds.
Because all sounds should be heard."
