A Soundwalk is…
“¢ For everyone’s enjoyment and learning
“¢ Any walk “whose main purpose is listening to the environment. It is exposing our ears to every sound around us no matter where we are.”
“¢ Environmental sounds are not just “noise” but “information” telling us what’s happening
“¢ Each soundwalk lasts less than one hour
A Soundscape is…
“¢ Every sound in your landscape, wherever you are
“¢ Always changing, no sound is ever the same
“¢ Not always noticed and often ignored
“¢ A natural resource
“¢ A design made in sound
