One of the themes of the "World of Sound" is that we live in a noisy world. From motorcycles to headphones and speakers, loud noise can have a significant impact on long-term hearing health:

1 Billion: At risk of hearing loss due to excessive headphone use¹
2 Minutes: Of unsafe music levels can cause damage²
30% More: Young adults have hearing loss than 20 years ago³

Three Global Artists Participated In the "World of Sound"

Design Cells creates striking video animations to help us better understand our bodies and her recent pieces have received over 150M views on TikTok. For the "World of Sound", she created a stunning, artistic visual of sound's path from the outside world to the brain.
Andy Thomas is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Australia and his sound-inspired artwork has been featured across global stages including The Lume in Melbourne. Andy dramatized three soundscapes from the CDC's sound safety chart for the "World of Sound" campaign.
Weirdo Works is a youth-focused artist with 10 billion views on social platforms. For the "World of Sound", he focused on loud music's impact on our hearing by capturing an important message about hearing loss prevention in an unassuming internet-friendly style.
