Mobile Research Labs

MRL is fascinated by the sounds and audio that surrounds us. We explore the way we interact with sound and are influenced by it. While music enriches our lives, noise can be regarded as a pollution and has a less desirable effect causing stress or hearing impairment. Sounds from diverse types of media, and ads we are exposed to, influence and change our behaviour and perception, in some cases even motivate us. We seek to examine the ambient audio people experience and assist in deducing useful insights from observing it with the help of the crowd.
