“…The landscape component apparently plays an essential role in this noise reduction. This study's results align with research at the Great Mosque of Yogyakarta, where water gurgling affects the congregation's perception of the serenity of the atmosphere (12). The gurgling of water as the sound of nature has a significant role in reducing noise (26).…”

“…The most disturbing sounds emerge from the sounds of machines. Studies in soundscape also acknowledge less disturbing noise from the sounds of nature, such as birds and fountains (12). The studies demonstrate the importance of the relationship between the surrounding physical environment around the mosque and the environment's characteristics.…”

“…Meanwhile, preliminary research has focused on the comfort of the mosque's indoor audio performance influenced by the sonic environmental conditions outside. A study in the context of the traditional Javanese environment indicates that noise in a traditional mosque's courtyard did not affect the serenity in the mosque room and foyer (12). This phenomenon links to the geometry of the floor, the roof height of the mosque, and the distance between the barrier fence in the mosque yard.…”

The development of Surakarta has shaped the urban spatial structure into two regions: the north and the south. Every region has royal mosques: the Grand Mosque in the north and the Al Wustho Mosque in the south. The Grand Mosque is located in the middle of the textile trade centre, while the Al Wustho mosque is in the middle of an educational area. This study used the two royal mosques to find the sound or acoustic character. The sound around the building will give the place identity and affect the building design. This study aims to reveal the differences in area character concerning mosques' environmental acoustic character using a soundscape approach. The research employed a sound pressure level measurement method, visitor's behaviour, interview, and descriptive analysis. The data reveal that high environmental function complexity is not always associated with a high noise impact, while low environmental function complexity is associated with a high noise impact. This study's findings highlight the importance of considering outdoor materials as a landscape component with a high noise absorption capacity. One of the research findings is that south beach sand has good acoustic performance in the environmental sound absorption process.

“…At least one study assessed people's perceptions of nighttime bell ringing with regard to sleep disturbance (Brink et al 2011), while another tried to examine the effects of bell ringing on house prices in the vicinity of churches (Brandt et al 2013). Several studies have considered bell ringing in terms of its cultural heritage dimensions (Elicio and Martellotta 2015;Suárez et al 2015;Suárez et al 2016;Syamsiyah et al 2018) and the soundscapes associated with individual places of worship (Acun et al 2016;Yilmazer and Acun 2018;Jin Yong et al 2014;Hong et al 2010;Zhang et al 2016) as well as people's perceptions of bell ringing with reference to impression and loudness (Omlin and Brink 2013;Kovačič 2017;Kiser and Lubman 2008), and people's preferences for bell ringing in terms of congruence of the soundscape (Ge et al 2013). In addition, there have been studies of the histories of individual bells (Fowler et al 2019) as well as bell-specific sound studies (Salom et al 2014;Oancea et al 2010).…”

For centuries, religious buildings have been using bells to call the faithful to prayer. Bell-ringing activity on church premises does not serve a purely religious function, however, as people in the community may perceive this activity secularly, attributing their own meanings and significances towards these sounds. If bell ringing (or the actual sound) were found to have great significance to a specific community, denomination, or a regionality bracket, this may have future implications in any management of these resources. There is a need to hear the voices of the actual practitioners and their perceptions regarding what they, their congregations, and their host communities feel. This paper represents the first large-scale assessment of the views of practitioners of five major Christian denominations with regards to bell-ringing practice and its role in contemporary society.

“…A number of studies have considered the internal acoustic properties of religious structures from a technical and workplace safety aspect [17][18][19], as well as in terms of their cultural heritage dimensions [20][21][22][23]; the effects of bell ringing on ground motion [24]; the soundscapes associated with places of worship [25][26][27][28][29]; people's perceptions of evening bell ringing with reference to impression and loudness [30,31]; and people's preferences in bell ringing in terms of congruence of the soundscape [32].…”

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.
