“…All participants in both groups were asked to take an online hearing test before proceeding to the subsequent experiment. 38 A total of 300 students were enrolled and 177 completed all the tests, after which 28 responses were removed for those who had musical instrument learning experience or who did not pass the listening test, leaving 149 valid samples in the final ordinary group. A total of 45 students who took the general music course were initially selected.…”

Music is closely related to soundscape. The present study employs methods and tools for assessing soundscape perception to compare the evaluation of soundscape perception between students who had not been taught general music courses (n=80, equal into N1, N2) with that of students who had been taught general music courses (n=40, MU) in four distinct audio-visual environments. According to the results of the questionnaire in four scenes and eight perceptual dimensions, there are significant differences between MU and N1 N2 (4-5 items), whereas there is only a slight difference between N1 and N2 (1 item). The difference in soundscape perception is reflected in those students who had been taught general music courses having a higher evaluation of the diversity of soundscape elements (as eventful), and different emotional judgments of the sound environment (as calm). These differences are visualized using the soundscape analysis tool, Soundscapy. Overall, the findings suggest that taking a general music course promotes richer sound perceptions and clearer affective associations with sound and that these enhancements could be presented using the soundscape perception measurement method. The findings also presented could inform the effectiveness of teaching in a general music course.

“…Some authors have studied the emotional impacts of soundscape on public parks (Fiebig et al, 2020;Han et al, 2022;Hedblom et al, 2017;Irvine et al, 2009;Jahncke et al, 2015;Masullo et al, 2021;Qiu et al, 2020;Ratcliffe, 2021;Van den Bosch et al, 2018). Ma and Thompson (2015) found that human emotions are dependent on sound acoustics, while Choi (2015) observed that environmental sounds could elicit pleasant emotions.…”

Urban parks are public leisure areas that stimulate good feelings and alleviate stress. Studies of park soundscapes have shown that natural soundscapes are associated with higher restorations after park visitations. Little is known whether different parks with similar sound sources would result in different perceived subjective well-being and stress reduction of the park visitors. This paper offers deeper insight into the Malaysian parks’ perceived soundscapes and highlights the effects after visitations on subjective well-being and stress reduction. On-site surveys were conducted in four selected parks in Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya, with 428 park visitors as the study’s sample. From March to May 2022, respondents were recruited with random sampling method. Acoustic measurements and perceptual responses to the park’s soundscape were recorded during the survey sessions. The relationships between objective and subjective measurements of the environment with perceived subjective well-being of the park users were evaluated with Spearman’s correlation tests. Findings revealed that sound levels of the parks from objective measurements differ from the perceived loudness of the park. Perceived soundscape is correlated with subjective well-being and sound environment with the satisfaction level of the park users after visitations. The findings also suggest that sounds from activities in parks increase the park users’ soundscape experience and well-being. These results implicate Malaysian park planning and management by serving a further understanding of the relationship between the soundscape of the parks and how they improve the well-being of park users.
