The entire soundscape can be treated as one ongoing musical composition

Evidence

The best way to comprehend what I mean by acoustic design is to regard the soundscape of the world as a huge musical composition, unfolding around us ceaselessly. We are simultaneously its audience, its performers and its composers. Which sounds do we want to preserve, encourage, multiply? When we know this, the boring or destructive sounds will become conspicuous enough and we will know why we must eliminate them. — Schafer, Murray R, The Soundscape- Our Sonic Environment…, 669
