| Summary/Abstract |
This article explores the issue of noise in the formation of Tel-Aviv's soundscapes in the 1920s and the 1930s. Underlying the article are the debates and conflicts over regulation and control of urban soundscapes that were an aspect of Tel-Aviv's urban growth. The analysis is based on letters of complaint sent to the municipality. These letters document different types of noise that bothered residents of the city during this period as well as social norms and cultural conventions deemed by residents and municipal authorities as constitutive of public order.
