“…This type of music is beneficial to urban harmony and spiritual civilization as environmental music. Music affects human psychology; this is also basically consistent with the results of our research on the soundscape of underground commercial space in Lu'an City and Hefei City, China, in May 2021 [20]. Environmental music, as a special type of music, has the same functions as music, enriching people's cognition and promoting the development of imagination and creativity.…”

“…It can be seen that the rationalization application of environmental music is worthy of being studied further [39][40][41]. Referring to experiments and relevant research data in China and abroad [4,5,9,[20][21][22], the authors summarize several suggestions on environmental music as follows:…”

“…In China, the study of environmental music has the characteristics of individual research with a loose combination of production, university, and research. In the 1990s, a research group organized by Si Youlun of People's University of China translated and edited the monograph "Aesthetics of Environmental Music" by Hattori Tadashi [19], which marked the beginning of systematic research on environmental music in China [20][21][22].…”

Urban ecological planning uses ecology, environmental science, economics, and urbanology to adjust and transform various complex urban relationships, seeking to expand benefits and reducing risks. Environmental music, a kind of non appreciative music, can act on subject consciousness and may influence the urban ecosystem in which it is employed. Many connections appear between urban ecological planning and environmental music. This study took the university town of Hefei City, Anhui Province, China, as an example. This work was conducted to explore the effects of environmental music on the development of urban ecological planning by combining relevant studies of environmental science, urban ecology, urban planning, and musicology. The results showed that environmental music, as a cultural information flow, affected the urban ecosystem and had a typical function for different ecological function zones in the city. Different types of environmental music had spiritual and cultural publicity functions in regulating the main body of the urban ecosystem (residents and students), and it also influenced the growth of common plants in cities and had different ecological and environmental effects.

The purpose of this paper is to review the acoustic perception of special-shaped spaces. Peer-reviewed English-language journal articles published between 2003 and 2023 were searched in the Web of Science and Scopus databases by using the keywords “perception”, “acoustics”, “flat space”, “extra-large space”, “coupled space”, “long space”, and spatial function and their synonyms. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) Included articles should focus on the field of psychoacoustics. (2) Spaces should be clearly identified as one or more of the four special spaces described above. (3) Subjective evaluation methods for spatial acoustic perception should be used. Finally, a total of 31 studies were included. A standardised data extraction form was used to collect spatial information, subject information, sound environment information, and other information. The results show that comfort expresses positive perception results in all four different spaces, whereas annoyance is negative in both flat and extra-large spaces, and satisfaction shows the opposite results in flat and coupled spaces, whereas perceived reverberation is the specific dimension for coupled space. In addition, unique conclusions were obtained for each type of space and special cases in the spaces were individually characterised.

As public transport services around the globe grapple with differentiating themselves in increasingly crowded markets, establishing a recognizable and memorable identity becomes paramount. This article explores the burgeoning area of soundscape branding in public transport settings, emphasizing its role in crafting a distinctive identity via acoustic design. Utilizing comprehensive case studies from leading transport hubs, we demonstrate how these entities have used strategically curated auditory elements to foster a profound sense of place, engender feelings of familiarity, and bolster brand loyalty among their user base. Through our investigations, we unravel the intricate web of factors that make soundscapes successful: they should resonate with the cultural, historical, and contextual fabric of their locale, ensuring that the auditory experience goes beyond mere aesthetics. The overarching positive outcomes observed include enhanced passenger experience, increased trust in the transportation service, and palpable differentiation in a competitive market landscape. However, with every innovation comes its set of challenges. Our research also delves into the complexities of constantly evolving urban environments, technological shifts, and the dynamic expectations of modern passengers, emphasizing the necessity for regular adaptation and iteration based on feedback and emerging trends. In conclusion, this expansive study aims to elucidate the transformative potential and multifaceted implications of soundscape branding in public transport, laying a foundation for future multisensory brand strategy research and applications.
