The World Forum for Acoustic Ecology is an international collective of people and organizations who study the world's soundscapes. [6] There are eight groups that make up the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology: the Australian Forum for Acoustic Ecology, the Canadian Association for Acoustic Ecology, the Finnish Society for Acoustic Ecology, the Hellenic Society for Acoustic Ecology, the Japanese ...
A spectrogram of the soundscape of Mount Rainier National Park in the United States. Highlighted areas show marmot, bird, insect and aircraft noises. Soundscape ecology is the study of the acoustic relationships between living organisms, human and other, and their environment, whether the organisms are marine or terrestrial.
These 2 works were adapted to become part of the 1993 book, The Soundscape: Our Sonic Environment and the Tuning of the World - R. Murray Schafer (ISBN 0-89281-455-1) 1977 Five village soundscapes (Music of the environment series) - A.R.C. Publications (ISBN 0-88985-005-4) 1978 Handbook for Acoustic Ecology - Barry Truax (ISBN 0-88985-011-9)
The Sound Around You Project began as a soundscape research project [7] at the University of Salford, UK in 2007.The project allows people to use audio recorders to record clips or sonic postcards of around 30 seconds in length from different sound environments, or ‘soundscapes’ from a family car journey to a busy shopping centre, and to upload them to the virtual map, along with their ...

Publications which emerged from the project include The Book of Noise (1968) [2] and The Tuning of the World (1977), [3] both by Schafer, as well as the Handbook for Acoustic Ecology (1978) [4] by Barry Truax. The project has thus far resulted in two major tours, in Canada and Europe, the results of which comprise the World Soundscape Library.
Schafer was particularly interested in the implications of the changes in soundscapes in industrial societies in children, and children's relationship to the world through sound. He was a proponent of ear-cleaning (cleaning one's ears cognitively), and he saw soundwalking as an important part of this process of re-engaging our aural senses in ...
An individual mosquito can be heard across 2–5 cm in distance when sound level rises to 22-25 dB. [7] Male and female mosquitoes can also be distinguished by their wingbeat frequencies, which are 700–800 Hz for males and 400–500 Hz for females. [7] As a result, flight sounds are used to determine flight activity and distinguish sex of groups.
