What is World Listening Day?

Every year, World Listening Day, encourages people to listen to nature's sounds. It's also a day to learn more about field recording.

Listening is a vital part of learning one another. When trying to figure out the world around us, listening is also important. Acoustic ecology is a science that studies human and their environment by sound.

Every day, you should probably hear sounds in your natural environment. The rustling of leaves in the wind could be included in these sounds. Nearby, a brook babbling is evident. As the sun rises, birds are singing as the sun rises. Some sounds may be annoying, while others are more soothing. Acoustic ecologists take sound listening to a whole new level. They take time to really listen to the sounds and interpret their meanings. When sounds begin to change over time, it could mean there are changes in the environment. If an animal starts to disappear, it could be that they are losing their habitat.

Many that capture these kinds of sounds work in a field reporting job. Some who do this sit on the ground listening for hours at a time. They also go to different kinds of environments to record sounds. These environments may include forests, deserts, plains, oceans, and mountains. These environments may include forests, deserts, plains, oceans, and mountains. Some also do field recording in urban areas. Many in urban areas will be able to see how noise pollution is impacting the climate. Field reporters know that sounds in any environment are trying to say something. They should all do is stop and listen.
