Toronto Soundscape Project

The Toronto Soundscape Project is a research initiative that studies the sounds of Toronto’s urban environment. Its goal is to understand how city noises—like traffic, construction, and human activity—affect residents’ well-being and the city's acoustic environment. By collecting and analyzing sound recordings, the project aims to develop strategies for managing noise pollution, promoting healthier soundscapes, and improving quality of life. It integrates perspectives from ecology, urban planning, and public health to create a comprehensive understanding of Toronto’s auditory landscape.
