A sound map of the uk – what’s the noise Your Place makes?

As this is a project all about sound – what’s the sound of ‘Your Place’? It’s probably not silent if you live in a big city as I’ve only ever done. If  you cocoon yourself with an ipod and your own playlist 24/7 then you miss out on whatever your local sound menu is.

I read an article about Listening, and how most of us don’t get around to it much and how one sound engineer in Salford is asking you for sounds of a particular area to build up a soundscape map of the UK – which is such a brilliant idea isn’t it? So join in, if you want to record the sounds of your area – or just let it sink into your ears a bit more next time you leave the house – saturate yourself in the sounds. Whenever I go to the countryside it freaks me out how silent everywhere is, and I can never sleep as I’m used to London or B’ham inner city noise as my urban retreat.
