I'm not an audio person, especially outdoors, but your listening walk makes me realise that I don't really pay attention to soundscapes at all. I love your lush descriptions of the sounds you noticed. Time to tune in indeed!
I’ve always enjoyed listening to the entire soundscape, near and far, as a combined “voice” of the place….the valley, or the yard, or the village. Somehow that can shift the feeling of cacophony…. Though many places do indeed have layers of constant and diverse sounds that can be overwhelming! Happy listening til your ‘buds are back!
