Soundscape Theory

Soundscape Theory explores how the sounds of our environment affect our experiences, emotions, and well-being. It emphasizes that sounds—whether from nature, urban life, or human activity—shape our perception of places and influence our mood and behavior. In this context, a "soundscape" refers to the overall auditory environment, including music, noise, and natural sounds. By understanding soundscapes, we can better design spaces that enhance enjoyment, reduce stress, and foster community, highlighting the importance of sound in our daily lives and the built environment.
