The Community Noise Lab (Unite. Evaluate. Take Actions.)
Erica Walker is an environmental epidemiologist and exposure scientist interested in understanding how sound and noise impact community health and well-being. Currently, she is a postdoctoral researcher and founder of Community Noise Lab at the Boston University School of Public Health. Community Noise Lab’s primary aim is to explore the relationships between noise and health by working directly with communities to address their specific noise issues, employing a mix of real-time sound monitoring, smartphone technology, laboratory based experiments, and community engagement activities. She is excited to be working with the Hariri Institute’s Software & Application Innovation Lab (SAIL) on the redevelopment of NoiseScore, a smartphone app that allows residents to document and visualize their ever-changing environmental soundscape.
