Urban Sound Mapping

Urban Sound Mapping is a method used to collect and analyze sounds in urban environments. By using sensors or mobile apps, researchers can record various sounds, such as traffic, music, nature, and human activity. This data helps to visualize how sound interacts with our surroundings, revealing patterns and trends in noise pollution, cultural activities, and overall sound quality in different areas. The insights gained can inform urban planning, improve public spaces, and enhance community well-being by making cities more aware of their acoustic environments. Ultimately, it promotes a better understanding of how sound influences our daily lives.
