From urbanization to biomedical science, rats can be found in the foundations of modernity. Communicating ultrasonically above the ~20 kHz frequency limit of human hearing, rats are also well adapted for the human-built environment and its anthropogenic noise. For the sound installation Urban Intonation, the author recorded rats on the streets of New York City with an ultrasonic microphone and resampled and remixed the audio for playback over a human public address system. Repositioning rat sounds as something recognizable, if not intelligible, as speech prompts humans to reconsider their relationship to their oftreviled nonhuman cohabitants
