Analysing the aural background of everyday spaces, this book explores the role and processes of sound in daily life in a range of contexts.

Sounding Places questions how sound comes to be a meaningful ingredient in the microgeographies of place-making, how it contributes to shaping a variety of embodied and spatially situated experiences, and how such aspects can be harnessed methodologically. These topics contribute to broader debates on the relations between representation and the non- or more-than-representational that are taking place across the social sciences and humanities in the wake of the cultural turn. Using creative approaches, this multidisciplinary book brings together the work of international scholars to enrich our understanding of the more-than-representational registers of sound and sonic experiences.

Social science scholars focusing on human geography, social psychology, music and cultural studies will find this to be a beneficial read. It will also prove to be a useful tool for urban planners and policy-makers interested in the use of sound and music in public environments.
