Abstract
From urbanization to biomedical science, rats can be found in the foundations of modernity. Communicating ultrasonically above the ∼20 kHz limit of human hearing, rats are also well-adapted for the human-built environment and its anthropogenic noise. For the sound installation Urban Intonation, the author recorded rats on the streets of New York City with an ultrasonic microphone and resampled and remixed the audio for playback over a human public address system, repositioning the voices of rats in order for us to reconsider our relationship to our oft-reviled nonhuman cohabitants.
