City Sounds

City sounds refer to the variety of noises typically heard in urban environments, including traffic, sirens, construction, voices, and other daily activities. These sounds result from human activity, transportation, and infrastructure, creating a complex acoustic environment known as the soundscape. Understanding city sounds helps in managing noise pollution, improving public health, and designing quieter, more comfortable urban spaces. They shape our experience of city life, influencing mood, communication, and overall well-being. Recognizing the different elements of city sounds allows city planners and residents to balance vibrancy with livability.
