the Soundscape Theory

Soundscape Theory explores how the sounds in a particular environment influence our perception and experience of that place. It considers not just the presence of sounds but their quality, source, and how they interact with human activities and emotions. Essentially, it examines how natural, urban, or mixed sounds shape our sense of space, comfort, and identity, affecting well-being and behavior. By understanding soundscapes, planners and designers can create environments that promote tranquility, engagement, or activity, aligning auditory experiences with desired psychological and social outcomes.
