Abstract

Perceptions of our soundscapes

The article discusses the change in our sound environment through the increase of noise in the cities, and debates if tolerance of noise has become a normal part of urban life. In addition, the writer presents criteria, through which citizens have evaluated the quality of the urban soundscape and the sufficiency of noise control. The challenges and strengths of environmental history in general and the importance of theory in relevant research are also being discussed.
