EP #10: Mapping the Invisible – Building a Global Soundmap

Alongside the app, I prototyped a web-based soundmap that displays recorded locations and lets users hear the acoustics of real-world spaces. Built with Leaflet.js, the soundmap shows markers where impulse responses were captured. Clicking them reveals:

  • Metadata (location, date, mic type)
  • A photo of the space
  • Audio preview of a dry sound convolved with that space’s IR

In the future, this could evolve into a public archive: a platform where users all over the world can contribute and explore acoustic identities. Think of it as Google Street View for sound — an acoustic memory atlas, built one snapshot at a time.
