“…The study emphasized that there should not be a passive situation where past sounds disappear, and contemporary sounds are minimized in historical areas. Instead, it suggests that while sounds may change over time, proper preservation and planning efforts can ensure that these changes are intentional and well-managed [39]. Some aspects of historical and cultural ambiance can be effectively conveyed, particularly through distinctive soundmarks that contribute to a unique acoustic identity.…”

This research addresses the neglect of sensory features, specifically the soundscape, in studies focused on preserving historic areas. The aim was to contribute to soundscape research by examining the effect of sound on the perception of urban historical places and the impact of the “renewal and transformation” process on audio-visual experiences. This study focused on the historical Erbil Citadel as a case study area, known for its extensive cultural history. Sound sources in the region were identified, recorded, and analyzed using software to calculate the Sound Pressure Level (SPL). The sound sources assessed as a result of the analysis were examined using Schafer’s sound characteristics. In this study, data was collected through a soundwalk study in the historical Erbil Citadel, and its surroundings were identified. The characteristics of the sounds were determined from the sound recordings, enabling the distinction of sounds contributing to the city’s identity. A route was established in its current state, and it was identified which regional precautions should be taken to preserve the sound identity of the city.

“…The findings show that the acoustic landscape plays an important role in maintaining historical value in the urban environment. Djimantoro et al [60] studied the relationship between the sound source of Fatahira Square in Jakarta and the acoustic environment predicted in historical sites by combining sound walking and visual analysis. The results show that a comprehensive study of multi-sensory stimulation can increase the overall understanding of historical sites.…”

As a significant part of heritage building protection, an increasing number of researchers pay attention to the study of the acoustic environment. The purpose of this study was to provide a clear understanding of the status quo of acoustic environment research on heritage buildings and discuss future development directions through a systematic literature review. The PRISMA protocol was used to conduct a systematic evaluation based on 42 studies on the acoustic environment of heritage buildings retrieved from databases such as the Web of Science. Research on the acoustic environment of heritage buildings mainly focused on the following four aspects: the acoustic environment with different functions, the influence of building materials on the acoustic environment, the digitization of acoustic heritage, soundscape measurement, and perception of the historical area. Second, this study discusses the development trend of acoustic environment research of heritage buildings and the shortcomings of current research. Finally, this study provides a comprehensive overview of the acoustic environment research of heritage buildings and offers suggestions for future research.

“…Soundwalking is an empirical method for identifying a soundscape and components of a soundscape in various locations [15]. It has also been used productively in the study of historic soundscapes [16,17]. Usually, acoustic and judgmental data is collected in situ by visiting predefined sites with a small group of participants and, after listening a few minutes to the acoustic environment, multiple ratings are requested.…”

The ISO 12913 standards acknowledge the primacy of context in perceiving acoustic environments. In soundscape assessments, context is constituted by both physical surroundings and psychological, social, and cultural factors. Previous studies have revealed similarities in people’s soundscape assessments in comparable physical surroundings, such as urban or national parks, despite differing individual associative contexts. However, these assessments were found to be capable of shifting in the historic setting of the Berlin Wall Memorial. Providing contextual information from the past appears to have some bearing on soundscape perception. The COVID-19 lockdown measures enacted since March 2020 in Germany have prevented most tourist activity at the memorial, and a resulting shift in user activity has been observed in the otherwise open and accessible memorial landscape. Building on previous soundscape investigations conducted at the memorial, this paper investigates what effect the restrictions have had on the soundscape context and its perception by visitors. Informal interviews paired with comparative measurements indicated context pliability for local stakeholders. In contrast to site programming alone, tourist presence also appears to affect context perception for local users. This holds repercussions for soundscape and heritage site designs serving local and tourist populations—and their divergent perceptions—alike. The impacts of soundscape assessments being neither static nor generalizable across stakeholders are discussed with suggestions for further research.
