Abstract
Since 2015, the Soundboks has become an increasingly popular mobile Bluetooth
performance speaker in Denmark. From a media ecological perspective, the introduction of new technology fosters new patterns of human association, typically
with advantages for some and disadvantages for others. This paper examines the
Soundboks story, focusing on the controversy and nuisance complaints following
an increased presence of the Soundboks in urban residential areas.
As a case study, residents affected by Soundboks speakers, centred around the
Copenhagen waterfront area Islands Brygge, completed a survey on their experiences. The results indicate a problem of a different scale than most other potential
urban noise nuisances.
