About the ride

Shhhhhhhhh! Noise pollution is an invisible health hazard, so we will create a fleeting refuge: masking the urban din with cascading waves of white noise. Find Your Flavor Pink, brownian, blue — there is a sub-genre of white noise for everyone. Explore the spectrum: chilly, chalky, oceanic? - Bring a speaker and your choice of white noise (digital streams, self-generated, analog radio static, recordings of wind, the background radiation of the cosmos, etc). - Play contributions simultaneously, an ever-shifting timbre of complex random-like sound. - Save music, hollering, and bell ringing for other rides, this is an intentional respite from "signals." - Prepare to adjust your volume to comfortably drown out background sounds. Meet at Lovejoy Fountain, a natural white noise source, to tune our blend. Then flow like a mechanical fountain through Downtown. We’ll conclude at Duckworth Dock for a scattering sunset and river swim, emerging from our noise cocoon to rejoin the dynamic cacophony refreshed and recalibrated.
