sound maps

Sound maps are visual representations that capture and display the sound environment of a particular area. They can illustrate the intensity, frequency, and types of sounds heard in different locations, such as urban, rural, or natural settings. By using colors, symbols, or varying shapes, sound maps help us understand how sound varies across spaces and can indicate noise pollution, wildlife presence, or community soundscapes. Researchers, city planners, and artists use sound maps to analyze sound distributions, promote awareness, and create a deeper connection to the auditory experiences of our surroundings.
