Abstract

Soundscape is becoming a relevant topic in recent years in different areas as applied acoustics, health awareness, urban planning or cultural heritage. Scientific community have been discussing about them since late 60´s and an evolution from basic definitions to potential applications has been performed. Most of relevant changes in Soundscapes framework has been coming along with development in data collection methodologies. Technology plays a key role: progress, availability, ubiquity and democratisation of data acquisition systems provide nearly never-ending chances to address, enhance and enrich Soundscapes assessment. However, only some years ago available resources were completely different. This article presents a Soundscape study case carried out in Menorca Island in 2000 and the discussion of an upgraded study in 2019 regarding technological issues.
