| Summary: | This paper focuses on the problem of silence regarded as an acoustic framework in which uncanny sonic phenomena appear. Some of these haunting noises take the form of sound abject — an unwanted sound of the human body, „neither [sound] subject nor [sound] object”. Borrowing terms from two eminent authors of twentieth-century aesthetics — Julia Kristeva, who proposed the concept of abject, and Pierre Schaeffer, who announced the existence of acousmatic sound objects, I hereby take the liberty of introducing the idea of „sound abject” — an unwanted, uncanny corporeal sound (the sound of the body itself ), uncontrolled by the self and constituting neither a subject nor an object but a sound phantasm that separates from the body and resounds worrisomely. I analyse the cases of sound installation created by Jan Simon as well as the Jamaican dub music production strategies.
