They sound <em>EXACTLY<\/em> the same!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My sister has two adorable pugs with just the sweetest personalities but, and I can not state this enough, they are LOUD. And I don\u2019t mean because they bark or anything, I mean because they<em> breathe<\/em>. That\u2019s it. They could be doing literally nothing at all and I swear, it sounds like a train going through the room. Now they\u2019re more than cute enough to make up for the noise &#8211; or at least they are until it\u2019s time to sleep and then it becomes nearly impossible to drown them out. It\u2019s gotten to the point that when I visit my sister I have to be in an entirely different room from the pugs with the door firmly closed\u00a0 to have any chance of peace.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s exactly the sentiment I wanted to convey by combining this image of a cute but looming pug with the sounds of a steam engine at work because no matter how many times I explain it, I don\u2019t think people really get it. It\u2019s not until you have both the image and sound together (or you\u2019re visiting my sister\u2019s house) that you can really understand the strangeness of a small, cute dog making more noise than a locomotive. I listened to so many train sounds to find just the right one and I think I nailed it &#8211; just play it on loop while trying to go to sleep and you\u2019ll have the full experience!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The combination of image and audio together definitely transformed the individual meaning of both to help illustrate a subjective feeling that can be hard to explain or understand. Because I can assure you, my sister doesn\u2019t feel the same way about her pugs as I do. But if I show her this, she might just get it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What do pugs and trains have in common? They sound EXACTLY the same!
