Abstract
Soundmarks started to be investigated in the 1970s by the composer Murray Schafer. The term was created based on association with landmarks, referring to community sound with specific qualities linked to a geographical area. The identification of soundmarks is significant due to anthropological reasons, as those sounds make the community's acoustic life unique. They deserve to be protected, reinforcing the anthropological characteristics of a community, and enriching the soundscape. The present work aims to systematically collect data on reported soundmarks in different urban scenarios in the German city of Aachen. The classification considers perceptual parameters [sound qualities, emotions, and memories composites], socio-cultural aspects, and objective parameters, such as acoustic and psychoacoustic indicators of the corresponding reported soundmarks.
