Sound is not just the domain of the urban areas. The countryside is alive with animal,
environmental and man made sound. The decibels of an early summer dawn chorus is surprisingly
high, while the low hum of working tractors is often a back drop to rural life.
The soft 'fluppery' sound of bats wings passing can be startling at night, and many
sounds can simply go un-noticed to those who are not consciously listening.
During the Aerial Roots project many sounds were recorded and a selection of short
excerpts is available on this page.
