External Site: BBC World Service: Save our Sounds[info]
A project co-ordinated by the World Service to build a sound map of the world by asking listeners to send in recordings of sounds from their regions, particularly ones that might be in danger of disappearing. The site includes a couple of Discovery programmes featuring a range of experts concerned with acoustic ecology in the urban soundscape, as well as tips on making recordings. The project has now ended and the website is no longer being updated, but the sounds that have been gathered are still available on demand or as podcasts.
