"One place to get ideas from would be Peter Cusack’s Favourite sound project.
Peter started exploring the public’s response to sound in London about a
decade ago. And I interviewed him about this project for Sonic Wonderland / The Sound Book.
His investigative technique is deceptively simple. He just asks, “What
is your favorite sound of London, and why?” In London, respondents to
Peter’s question often mentioned Big Ben. The Favourite Sound Project
has been expanded and run by others, to involve cities from around the
world,
including Beijing, Berlin, and Chicago."

"I listen to the surrounding environment and question: what have we lost,
where are we going, how can an understanding of sound help us
appreciate what remains?"
