International Institute for Acoustic Ecology

The International Institute for Acoustic Ecology (IIAE) is an organization dedicated to studying and promoting the understanding of sound in the environment. It focuses on how natural and human-made sounds affect ecosystems and human well-being. The IIAE encourages awareness of soundscapes—sounds of specific environments—and aims to preserve and enhance acoustic experiences. By fostering research, education, and community engagement, the institute seeks to help people appreciate the importance of sound in our lives and advocate for healthier sound environments in urban and rural settings alike.
