<P> A soundscape is a sound or combination of sounds that forms or arises from an immersive environment . The study of soundscape is the subject of acoustic ecology or soundscape ecology . The idea of soundscape refers to both the natural acoustic environment , consisting of natural sounds , including animal vocalizations , the collective habitat expression of which is now referred to as the biophony , and , for instance , the sounds of weather and other natural elements , now referred to as the geophony ; and environmental sounds created by humans , the anthropophony through a sub-set called controlled sound , such as musical composition , sound design , and language , work , and sounds of mechanical origin resulting from use of industrial technology . Crucially , the term soundscape also includes the listener 's perception of sounds heard as an environment : `` how that environment is understood by those living within it '' and therefore mediates their relations . The disruption of these acoustic environments results in noise pollution . </P>
