A soundscape is the combination of sounds that make up an environment. This can include natural sounds like birds chirping, wind rustling through trees, or water flowing in a stream. It can also encompass human-made sounds such as traffic noise, music, or construction. Soundscapes help shape our experiences and perceptions of a place. Soundscapes are important in various fields, including ecology, urban planning, and art. Researchers study soundscapes to understand how different sounds affect wildlife and human behavior. Artists may create soundscapes to evoke emotions or tell stories, using tools like field recordings and digital manipulation to craft immersive auditory experiences.
