The Quiet Project restarts for Lockdown 2.0

 

The Quiet Project has restarted, just in time for Lockdown 2.0. It was restarted in Scotland on 9th October 2020 when central Scotland reintroduced restrictions. As of 5th November 2020 England will have full restrictions, with the exception of education. This is precisely in line with our predictions, in mid April 2020, when the Quiet Project was started. Anyone who has acoustic instrumentation is welcome to take part by registering here. This will allows us to assess of the effectiveness of Lockdown 2.0.
