Wow, the concept of natural soundscape ecology sounds absolutely fascinating! Dr. Bernie Krause’s journey from musician to bioacoustician must have been quite an enlightening one. It’s incredible to think about how every chirp, rustle, and howl in the wilderness can tell such vivid stories about the environment.
I think this can be so beneficial, and can help people to reduce stress and reconnect with the wild. Additionally, creating noise-free zones and reducing noise pollution can help protect and enhance natural sounds, contributing to a more harmonious urban environment (which is something that i think everyone would enjoy!)
I totally agree with you! Spending time in nature can be such a game-changer for reducing stress and just feeling more grounded overall. And I never really thought about noise pollution in urban areas affecting natural sounds, but it totally makes sense. Having some quiet spots where you can just chill and listen to the sounds of nature sounds amazing. Plus, it would make cities feel so much more peaceful and livable.
Agree! Sounds of nature are so relaxing, and i think having an opportunity to hear those in cities would help everyone to become less stressed and anxious in general
