“…[8] Therefore, any public discussion about sonic environment rarely offers nothing more quite overall data. To assist this conversation we have created a mobile soundscape mixing application [20] in which the soundscape can be divided into pieces and re-arranged. In order to see how this changes the communication we ran a test to compare the different ways of expressing sonic experiences.…”

“…The management application is an administration console for managing the audio files and users. We developed a soundscape mixing application called SoundSpace to increase user interaction by developing soundscapes from building blocks stored in ADAM [20]. The SoundSpace tool allows the user to test and play with soundscape elements [5].…”

Sonic environments of fast-growing urban areas are an integral part of the quality of our everyday living in cities. Due to the individual nature of the sonic experience, collecting and analyzing such experiences needs methods for gathering accurate and useful data about them. This paper describes how to incorporate the concept of soundscape into city planning processes. To achieve this, we propose creating participatory methods for gathering data from the citizens so that the data would be useful and relevant for the city planning professionals. Since the participatory planning process aims at in evolving the citizens, we suggest methods that utilize crowdsourcing, mobile technology and machine learning for presenting, workshopping, and designing soundscapes in the city context.

“…It examines ways of learning about sounds, hearing, listening and the sonic environment using various participatory methods. The first target of the project was to design and implement a smoothly working mobile soundscape mixing application to increase user interaction by developing soundscapes from building blocks stored in audio digital asset management system (Salo et. al, 2016).…”

“…This issue is one of the technical challenges for arranging these kind of workshops. In order to keep the schedule and produce positive learning outcomes, the mobile tools have to work fluently (Salo et al, 2016). According to the feedback creating a soundscape with the mobile tool provided an experience but only half of the participants felt that it strongly evoked memories (figure 5).…”

Neighborhood as a living room" is a subproject of a large Creative Europe project "The People's Smart Sculpture". The project aimed to raise the interest and participation of especially young people towards their sonic surroundings. The article examines the issues of creating and experiencing soundscapes in mobile soundscape workshop. The soundscape platform and the workshop method was created to experiment mobile and participatory methods with sound and sonic experiences. The perception of the workshops indicated that the pedagogical approach and the orientation part of the workshop has an effect on the level of participation and individual sonic experience. The article concludes that the soundscape platform and the workshop methods implemented in the project enhanced participation and engagement to the topic among the participants. The soundscape workshop and the tools created for it offered the young people a possibility to participate in the conversation about the urban sonic environment, changes in it and the future of it.
