The Daily Telegraph : UK academics are calling on members of the public to use their mobile phones to record their local soundscape and send them the results. It is hoped that the clips will then make up a detailed acoustic map of the noise environment around the country and help offset the growing menace of noise pollution.The project—which will make the raw acoustic data available on the web—aims to get a better idea of why some sounds add to the atmosphere of a place and others detract and cause annoyance.
