By layering recorded sounds, music, and spoken stories onto a map, you can invite visitors to walk a nature trail, museum, or neighborhood while hearing the sounds that belong to each spot, or the sounds that used to belong there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sound Travels research found that layered sounds tied to real places change how people pay attention. They notice more, and they make choices about where to stand and what to focus on. A sound map puts that sonic awareness and sonic agency into your visitors\u2019 hands, using the phones and headphones many already carry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#495057\">This self-guided course is for staff and educators at museums, nature centers, libraries, and science centers who want to make a sound map for their own site, without an outside specialist.
