This report from the Michigan Science Center describes how scientists and artists are studying the natural soundscapes there.
Nature is quiet without human noise. Natural sounds includes birds chirping, squirrels chattering, waves splashing on the shore, and wind in the trees.
The soundscape can also be studied as an indicator of environmental health, because natural quiet is good for animals, good for people, and good for the environment.
