Sonic heritage refers to the sounds, music, and auditory environments that hold cultural, historical, or personal significance within a community or society. It includes things like traditional songs, street sounds, voices, and even the acoustic qualities of historic places. Preserving sonic heritage helps maintain the identity and memories of a place, offering a sense of continuity and connection across generations. Recognizing and safeguarding these sounds ensures that important auditory aspects of our cultural landscape are valued and retained for future generations.
