Environmental Sounds
Environmental sounds refer to the various noises that occur in our surroundings, often produced by natural or human-made sources. These sounds can include the rustling of leaves, the chirping of birds, the sound of flowing water, or the hum of traffic. They play a crucial role in shaping our experiences and perceptions of different environments.
These sounds can be categorized into two main types: biophonic sounds, which come from living organisms like animals and plants, and anthropogenic sounds, which are generated by human activities such as construction, transportation, and industrial processes. Understanding environmental sounds helps in studying ecosystems and assessing the impact of noise pollution on wildlife and human health.
