I have slept many nights as a child beside mild chimney fires. After an exhausting day of snowball fights and sledding, I’d always be enticed by the warmth radiating off of our living room’s fireplace. I’d snuggle up on the couch and listen to the subtle crackling of the fire. After a day of traversing steep snow drifts, the soothing crackle of the flame was just the sedative I required to fall asleep. The sound was a comfort to me, and I never analyzed it until now. For that reason, I’ve selected it as the tentative focus of my sound essay. I will strive to uncover the the reason for its influence over me. I would like to know why it soothes me. I would like to know why a destructive phenomenon can produce a sound so subtle. After all, humans should have an innate aversion to fire, and yet its sound appeases me. There will be much to research in this matter. Also, I wish to discover other people who have an affinity for the sound, and the feelings they derive from it. As a science major, I’d also like to be enriched by researching the nature of sound waves, and how relaxing sounds elicit neurological changes.
