“…The study of human environmental sound is multidisciplinary, informed by research ranging from acoustics and urban planning, to landscape ecology and cultural heritage studies. Research has been undertaken in various aspects of sound in the natural and built environment, including negative e ects [1][2][3], positive e ects [4,5], and the absence of sound or quietness [6,7].…”

Human existence is accompanied by environmental sounds as by-products of people’s activities and sounds that are intentionally generated to allow human society to function. The resulting soundscapes that surround people’s daily existence are subject to technological, as well as behavioural change. Cultural heritage management has begun to address the question of which sounds and soundscapes should be preserved and maintained as part of humanity’s legacy to future generations. A side-effect of the dramatic social and behavioural change caused by governmental responses to COVID-19 has been a dramatic temporary alteration of urban cultural sound-scapes. In this paper we will consider the nature and extent of these and will explore to what extent the COVID-19-induced reality can be employed to project a future of urban cultural soundscapes if no active heritage intervention were to occur.

“…The concept of aural heritage, its conceptualization and its management represent a rapidly expanding area of research, covering aspects of both natural and human heritage. Previous work, for example, has attributed value to sounds in natural heritage spaces, such as avian soundscapes [8], soundscapes in cities and neighborhoods [9], and sounds in specific, spatially defined areas [10,11]. As with all constructs of value, the perception and conceptualization of soundscapes in natural spaces is anthropogenic [12], even though extraneous sounds may not only collide with the human perception of 'nature' but also interfere with inter-and intra-species faunal communication [13].…”

As a social species, humans have developed soundscapes that surround, and to some extent circumscribe, their daily existence. The concept of aural heritage, its conceptualization and its management represent a rapidly expanding area of research, covering aspects of both natural and human heritage. However, there have been no contemporary regional or supra-regional studies that examine the nature of sound making in Christian religious settings, nor the extent to which it is still used. This paper presents the results of a survey into the presence of bells and bell ringing practices among five major Christian denominations in New South Wales, and examines to what extent bell ringing is still practiced and what factors may determine any differentiation. In doing so, it provides an objective basis from which to investigate future changes in bell ringing practices, and provides a solid foundation with reference to aural heritage of sound in a religious setting.

“…The term 'anthropophony' should be defined here as sound made by humans; this is in contrast to biological voices named biophony and sound from the geophysical environment (like the sound of waves or wind) named geophony (Farina, 2014). A similar approach and terminology can also be found in the analysis of Polish natural reserves (Bernat, 2013).…”

This article shows acoustic measurements from Svalbard archipelago in the Arctic, located in the Arctic Ocean. The aim of the research was to show the Svalbard soundscape as well as to record and analyse the spatial-temporal dynamics of the acoustic environment, the human impact on the soundscape and to collect baseline data for future comparative research. Svalbard is interesting for many science disciplines because it has an arctic climate and, at the same time, it is relatively easily accessible. Climatologists, geologists, glaciologists, biologists and even anthropologists could find interesting themes to investigate here. Additionally, the soundscape of Spitsbergen is worthy of detailed examination. This paper presents comparative analysis of the soundscape of various spots near Longyearbyen in Management Area 10. The soundscape analysis of selected valleys shows the strong influence of human activity on the soundscape as well as the variability and characteristic features of the natural Arctic soundscape.
