Sound maps are immersive sonic and visual tools designed to re-establish the location of audio recordings. Most geographic soundscape archives are built through a collective submission process, in which participating phonologists record audio in the field and upload content remotely. Sound maps may chart the soundscape of a particular urban area, delve into the sonic facets of the ocean (i.e. explore elements of noise pollution and cetacean songs) or reveal the acoustic ecology of rural landscapes.
