When someone creates a soundwalk or soundmap they create a way for a person to hear the sounds of a particular location and become aware of the sounds in that area. We as people are constantly using our senses but because we are so accustomed to certain things in our environment they are ignored by our minds. This is what happens to common sounds in our lives such as birds chirping. We are so used to hearing the sound of birds that our brain chooses to ignore it because it is always there. When we are forced to focus on these sounds then they become noticeable. For example it is possible to walk past any of the locations on our class soundmap and still be unaware of what sounds occupy that space. However, once someone uses a soundmap of that location or hears a soundwalk, from that moment on that person becomes more aware of the sounds present in that location, not just in the moment when using the map, but in person afterwards as well. Additionally soundwalks and soundmaps allow us to \u201ccapture\u201d sound as if it is a physical\/material object and then sort it how we want to. In a way these maps allow us to preserve the soundscape of places in the past. Soundwalks of areas in the past that are now very different serve as a way for people to study the history of a location by allowing us to use our senses without actually being present at the location. This has also been done in videos that allow us to use our sense of vision to make judgements on the past that we may or may not have been present for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Both our class soundmap and Hildergard Westerkamp\u2019s soundwalk draw our attention to the environment by providing a unique type of focus on pieces of our environment that we do not normally have or use.
