Can we create the perfect city soundscape
Picture your dream living room. You’re sitting on the sofa with the window open.
What do you hear? Is it the sound of a flowing river? The murmuring of human
chatter as friends enjoy a hot drink at the neighbouring cafe? A soundscape is your
aural environment—everything you can hear around you, and researchers say the
soundscape where you live can influence your wellbeing.
In times gone by, soundscapes would’ve consisted of the sounds of nature, such
as birdcall and the sound of crashing waves. The reality of human life in the 21st
Century means that air travel, construction and traffic noises are now in the mix,
and agricultural noise means that not even rural life is safe. Noise pollution can lead
to heightened stress levels, impaired cognitive function and higher risk of
cardiovascular disease in humans, according to an article published by the UK
Parliament called ‘The effects of artificial light and noise on human health’. Not only
that, it can affect the behaviour and life cycles of species which rely on sound.
So, what can be done? Urban design is one trick. In Barcelona in Spain, urban
planners designed ‘superblocks’, where traffic goes around big groups of buildings
and the inner streets are pedestrianised, creating space for people and wildlife that
is free from beepinghorns and humming motors. In a 2025 article published in BMC
Public Health, people in these areas reported an improvement in wellbeing, quality of
sleep and reduction in noise.
Other techniques include tree buffers, where trees are planted in urban areas
to absorb sound energy. In the Netherlands, they have created earth banks next to
Schiphol airport to absorb noise from the runways and protect residents in the
surrounding areas. England has a vast network of hedgerows—they’d stretch around
the Earth almost ten times if lined up! And it turns out they make excellent sound
barriers, particularly if the hedges are large, dense and evergreen.
When we think about improving our environment, it’s likely your mind jumps to
reducing litter and air pollution. But reducing noise pollution is also important, to
create a soundscape that works for everyone—people and wildlife.
