          Abstract

          Resumen: El artículo propone una reflexión acerca de la musicalidad de ciertos eventos sonoros que forman parte del paisaje sonoro urbano. Se analiza un caso típicamente urbano: el pregón del heladero. A partir de un fragmento sonoro grabado en una feria barrial de Montevideo, se estudian las características de este evento desde distintos puntos de vista: acústico, perceptivo y comunicacional. Se concluye que el pregón funciona como un sistema sonoro de características especiales y que ciertos rasgos de su musicalidad son esenciales para que se establezca una comunicación eficaz en el contexto urbano. El artículo constituye un punto de partida para una posible caracterización de las expresiones sonoras urbanas en general, así como para el estudio de su impacto estético y social sobre el paisaje sonoro urbano

          Abstract: This paper proposes a debate on the musicality of certain sound events that are part of the urban soundscape. A typical urban occurrence is analyzed: the cry of an ice-cream vendor. Based on a sound excerpt recorded at a popular fair in Montevideo, the features of this sound event are surveyed from different points of view: acoustic, perceptive, and communicational. It is inferred that the ice-cream vendor cry works as a peculiar sound system, and that certain musicality features that characterize it are vital for an effective communication in urban context. This article constitutes a starting point for a further characterization of urban sound expressions in general and for the study of its esthetic and social impact on the urban soundscape
