New Source Statement: Sound

People use body language everyday to communicate with others around them, and most of that language is also accompanied with subtle sounds. For example, a person with her arm's crossed against her chest may also be tapping her foot impatiently waiting for a friend to arrive. We often unintentionally create sound effects that add to the message that our bodies are also emitting. These sounds are usually unnoticeable unless it is brought to its attention. Sounds such as tapping of the fingers, clearing of the throat, sniffing, etc. are all part of the body and it's discreet language. However, much like body language, these sounds that go along with it are naturally part of human communication and can be interpreted in many ways. I want to focus on these indirect sounds that cab often take a very direct meaning.
