The London Sound Survey

The London Sound Survey is a project dedicated to exploring and recording the diverse sounds of London. It captures everyday noises—such as street chatter, transportation, and ambient city sounds—to preserve and study the city’s auditory environment. Through recordings, maps, and research, it helps people understand how London sounds change over time and how they shape the city’s identity. The survey aims to foster appreciation for urban soundscapes, highlighting their cultural, historical, and social significance within London’s dynamic environment.
