Acoustic Ecology Institute

The Acoustic Ecology Institute is an organization dedicated to studying and promoting awareness of natural and human-made sounds in our environment. It focuses on understanding how soundscapes—everything from bird calls and insects to traffic and industry—affect ecosystems and human well-being. By researching, documenting, and advocating for healthy sound environments, the institute aims to protect the natural acoustic heritage and ensure that natural soundscapes remain vibrant and sustainable for future generations. Their work helps raise awareness of noise pollution and the importance of sound design in maintaining ecological balance.
