Soundscape indicators

Soundscape indicators are measurements used to assess the quality and characteristics of an environment’s sound environment. They help capture how natural, quiet, or noisy a place is, and whether sounds are pleasant or intrusive. These indicators consider factors like the variety of sounds, their intensity, and how often they occur. They are used to understand the impact of sounds on human well-being and the environment, guiding efforts to preserve peaceful, healthy, and vibrant sound environments in urban or natural areas.
