International Society for Acoustic Ecology

The International Society for Acoustic Ecology (ISEA) is a global organization dedicated to studying and preserving the relationship between humans and our natural and cultural sound environments. It promotes awareness of how sounds—like birdsong, urban noise, or traditional music—affect our well-being and the environment. ISEA supports research, education, and artistic projects that explore soundscapes, encouraging mindful listening and conservation. Its goal is to foster a deeper understanding of acoustic environments to enhance human life and protect the Earth's diverse sound ecosystems.
