Overview

This linguistic study compares soundscape perceptions in urban and mountain areas, suggesting a cultural legacy linked to natural environments.

Key Points

  • To analyze soundscape perceptions among residents of mountain and urban areas in Trentino and compare these findings with prior research.
  • Conducted a mixed-methods analysis using an open-ended questionnaire adapted from Guastavino.
  • Engaged 68 participants, with 31 from mountainous areas and 37 from urban settings.
  • Investigated differences in soundscape perception and the impact of a multilingual context.
  • Urban participants evaluate human sounds more negatively compared to mountain participants.
  • Mountain participants focus on identifying sound sources rather than sounds themselves.
  • Tranquility and silence are valued in both groups' ideal soundscapes, linked to natural environments.
