Assessing The Role of Natural Soundscapes in Urban Areas and Role of Landscape in Bringing Back the Lost Voices of Nature

Abstract

Nature made every living being on earth to communicate and get lost in its voices. Imagining nature without its voices is impossible as everything in this world communicates and is interconnected. Landscape acts as a connecting link for the sounds of nature and organisms. “Cities” the hubs for the noises in this world are muting the nature’s hum. By muting un-wanted noises one can re-hear nature’s sounds. The inter-dependency of everything in this nature, either a living or a non-living thing is making these sounds possible. The ecological settings for any ecosystem are organised which enable to communicate to the other. When the system is disturbed, it faces an immense effect and creates communication gap between the living and the non-living things. The study focuses on the sources of nature’s sounds, noise causes that deplete nature's voices and the proposals of possibilities to overcome the loss of Natural-Soundscapes.
