Ecological Soundscape Design

Ecological Soundscape Design involves thoughtfully managing and enhancing the natural sounds within a landscape to support ecological health and human well-being. It considers how sounds—such as bird calls, flowing water, and wind—interact with the environment to promote biodiversity, reduce noise pollution, and create soothing, natural auditory experiences. This approach aims to balance human needs with ecological processes, fostering environments where wildlife can thrive while people enjoy peaceful, healthful sound environments. It combines principles of ecology, landscape planning, and sound science to produce harmonious, sustainable outdoor spaces.
