Sound Walks

Sound Walks are guided or personal experiences where individuals explore a location while paying close attention to the sounds around them. They encourage active listening to immerse oneself in the environment’s auditory landscape—such as natural sounds, human activity, and urban noise—and often aim to increase awareness of how sound influences mood and perception. These walks can foster mindfulness, enhance sensory engagement, and deepen understanding of a place’s cultural and ecological context by focusing specifically on auditory details often overlooked in everyday life.
