The Sound of Intranet

Did you ever wonder what sound an intranet makes? I know, this is a weird question to start off with. And off course there is no real sound an intranet produces. But imagining a sound intranet makes enlightens the ways we perceive intranets. For instance, would you associate the intranet-sound with a desert, a waterfall, a city hub maybe, or a turbine? These each produce quite different sounds, which instantly paint a mental image of the respective source, and its purpose. A desert has a quietness and openness about it that a city hub lacks.
What sound does your intranet make?
Does this ‘sound’ fit the image of your (organization’s) intranet? In other words, is your collaboration site buzzing like a city hub? Is your knowledge system humming like a turbine? Or is there a gap between its purpose and its output? Is your collaboration environment for instance producing desert like sound effects? Give it a thought. I’ll come back to sound later.
