AB This article explores the specificities and psychological effects of urban noise in John DosPassos’ novel Manhattan Transfer. It seeks to elucidate how Manhattan’s soundscape isrepresented on the novel’s formal and content level and how it assumes an agency in its ownright, when ceaselessly enveloping the novel’s characters. The city’s specific acoustic regimes,therefore, prove much more instrumental in constituting the characters as modern subjectsthan other sensorial dimensions. Within a thus enacted metropolitan panacousticon, theurban subject is crucially defined not only as a noise source in itself, but as always alreadyoverheard by a supposed other.
