About this sound
A listening journey through Canaveral National Seashore. Produced by the Young Sound Seekers, a partnership between the Center for Visually Impaired (Daytona Beach, FL), Atlantic Center for the Arts, and Stetson University, supported by the National Park Service Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division.
Why parks record sound
The NPS Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division monitors soundscapes in parks across the United States. Natural quiet is treated as a resource to protect, like clean air or dark skies: noise from aircraft, vehicles and machinery can mask animal communication and change the experience of a place.
