Sounds Appear to Affect How We Feel About Places

Caption

A new study suggests the sounds around us have a significant impact on how we feel about physical spaces, with natural sounds – such as birdsong – associated with a greater sense of attachment to a given place. The study draws on data from a large-scale participatory science project that enlisted the participation of more than 1,000 citizen scientists.
