Noise Control Beta – In a world where to perceive a forbidden noise is the highest crime, a cop whose wife starts hearing it must find its origin in the desperate attempt to save her.

>>>>?the problem is that the gouvernement says the noise doesn?t even exist ? that people who ?hears it? are sick and will become dangerous.

IOW: the government covers up the problem by having those who hear voices diagnosed as suffering from schizophrenia; the classic symptom is that sufferers hear voices.

The technicall problem is that the disorder kicks in in late teens or early 20’s at the latest. ?Which is another reason why I ?think it would work better if the protagonist was the cop’s teenage son. ?That would apply a veneer of medical credibility to the concept ?And it would target the film to a more desirable (translation: lucrative) demographic, ?the teenage-young adult viewing market.

Just saying.

Why not make the protagonist a policeman’s teenage son (or daughter)?

It’s a physiological ?fact that young people’s hearing is more acute, that they can hear higher frequencies — a capacity that diminishes with age. ? ?So there’s your bridge between fact and fiction.

The teenager hears a message that her parents and other elders can’t — that they a few might have heard when they were young but had not the courage to act on.

Work off the aphorism about how many are called–but few are chosen. ?This teen dares to answer the call.

Which, I submit, ?is a ?heck of a lot more proactive than a cop trying to merely defend his wife from the consequences of hearing the noise.

After all, what is the story about? ?Cowardly reacting defensively to an oppressive regime — or rebelling against it?

fwiw
