The Sonic Atlas Project captures what the world sounds like and how that changes over time. Inspired by San Francisco's KALW "Natural State" radio segment, this app is designed to let you explore soundscapes as well as contribute your own.
Explore soundscapes:
Listen to what Steamer's Lane in Santa Cruz sounds when the waves are 15-18 feet. Compare the backyard bird chatter across different neighborhoods. Hear a busy San Francisco mid-market intersection.
Contribute your own:
Off to see the sandhill crane migration? Sailing the bay? Watching a dragon dance for Chinese New Year? Grab a soundscape for others to enjoy.
