Padova Soundscape: a Crowdsourcing Approach to Describe the Sound of a City (position paper)
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper reports the results of an initial experiment on the acoustic description, called soundscape, of the city of Padova. A group of users has been involved in recording the sounds of the city and in tracking their position in space and in time using a web based interface. Collaboration and coordination among participants has been promoted using a wiki, where participants could assign themselves the locations to be recorded and define the standard to be followed. The result is the creation of an acoustic map of the city of Padova, which can be navigated in space and in time through a web interface. A mobile version of the interface is under development.

Urban acoustic environments consist of various sound sources including traffic noise, human-generated sounds, and natural sounds that affect the soundscape perception of a given location. However, these sound sources are indistinguishable by noise maps that are based on sound pressure levels. Hence, soundscape maps based on the perception of sounds are necessary to describe an acoustic environm...
