Researchers seek UK 'soundscapes'
A project has launched to capture the sounds of UK locations, mapping
them to create "soundscapes" that can be visited by users of the
project's site.
Participants are asked to record 5 - 10 second intervals of sound
using their mobile phones, describing where and why they took the
recording.
The sound samples are then uploaded to a site where they are mapped.
