After listening to “Postal workers canceling stamps at the University of Ghana post office” online, describe how the soundscape of this African post office differs from the soundscape of a North American post office. (Descriptions may vary.)
What will be an ideal response?
• The soundscape of the African post office sounds like music—a music with a driving rhythmic part that contrasts boldly with the whistled part.
• The typical North American post office soundscape is filled with:
• random sounds of people walking in to pick up or send mail
• several overlapping conversations as customers and postal workers carry on their business
• punctuating sounds of packages being dropped into shipping boxes.
