About Sounds of Changes?

What does Sounds of Changes do?

Society is changing rapidly. With the help of project Sounds of Changes we document a portion of this change, namely the change in the acoustic landscape. How does the world of today and yesterday sound? By collecting sounds and soundscapes, we create a reference material that can be used for wide use in all kinds of projects and research.
