About this event

While navigating an accessible route around the university campus, we will experience a blend of surrounding sounds and recordings of remote sea cliffs and seabird colonies through ‘silent disco’ headphones. Several pauses will be incorporated for deeper listening.

Please note:

– Participants must remain silent to enhance focus on the auditory experience, with the option to listen fully, partially, or not at all through the headphones.

The Sound and Environment Symposium has been organised by Newcastle University’s Sound + Environment Research Group, exploring the ways sound can deepen our understanding of environments and the communities inhabiting them.

This event is part of Sound + Environment Symposium 2025
