sound mapping

Sound mapping is the process of visually representing audio information from a specific location. This involves recording sounds in an environment, such as urban areas or natural landscapes, and then plotting them on a map. Each sound is associated with its location, often using symbols or colors to indicate different types of sounds, like traffic, nature, or human activities. Sound maps help researchers, urban planners, and the public understand noise pollution, ecological health, and cultural soundscapes, providing insight into how sound influences our experiences and environments.
