Soundscape Mapping

Soundscape mapping is a process that captures and visualizes the variety of sounds in an environment, such as city streets, parks, or natural areas. By recording and analyzing these sounds, it creates a detailed map that shows the quality, sources, and overall character of the acoustic environment. This helps urban planners, environmentalists, and communities understand how sound affects well-being, identify noise issues, and design spaces that promote healthier and more enjoyable sound experiences. Essentially, it offers a comprehensive view of the auditory landscape to support better planning and management.
