There are many sounds around us everyday everytime. Such kind of sound we feel connected to and compatible for us. The other ones we don't realize and not connected to us.
What factors determine which sound connected and compatible for us in a moment ?
I find it very interesting to ask what are the common sounds that we perceive. I think it can be called the affordance of sound. It is a meaningful sound for people to perceive the outside world. I think that sound as an affordance differs depending on the culture and lifestyle. There will be sounds that are common across cultures and sounds that are unique to cultures.
It seems that one of the factors that affect our auditory perception is the emotions we have at that moment,
for example: when we are full of happiness, our attention will be more towards the sound of laughter and happiness around us.
