SoundTransit brings you the opportunity to explore your planet without leaving your sofa using an innovative method of virtual travel: An online database of every type of environmental sounds recorded in every corner of the world.

In a few mouse clicks at SoundTransit, you can virtually sit underneath Lions Gate Bridge in West Vancouver, walk through the entrance of Hangzhou railway station in China and listen to the locals in the 24-hour square of Ambience Djemaa El Fna Square in Marrakech, Morocco. If you’re a local, you can also create and upload these ambient sounds of your hometown for others to enjoy.

How about cicadas and children playing in Maraj, Brazil?

Or a celebration in Bogota DC, Colombia?

 

The cheapest way you can get to travel with your senses... and a beautiful homage to the art of sound and recording! You can plan a sonic journey through various locations recorded around the world or you can search the database for specific sounds by different artists from certain places. (soundtransit.nl)
