Recording Rights to Buzzing Lights(LISTEN)
My first stop, a school, was actually just the place that looked most likely to be less saturated with the sounds of broken mufflers and screeching tires that the first few blocks of my trek had to offer.
I was immediately intrigued as I entered the lobby of the building. Not by the obnoxious buzzing that seemed to be emitting from the lights above, but by the fact that there were people occupying this space, seemingly completely unbothered by it.
I perched myself on a bench just under the loudest light, as pictured in the above map. I got a good couple of minutes of this grinding, vibrating hum before I was approached by a custodian. After explaining to him my intentions, he informed me that I needed to obtain some sort of rights to record sound on this property, and politely asked me to leave.
Before leaving I asked him how it was working in a building that constantly buzzed so loudly. He replied, "What buzz?".
