Question 1:
Soundscape is the sound of everyone’s everyday life. Everyone hears soundscapes from the moment they wake up, to the moment they go to bed. A soundscape can be anything that someone hears, like a truck going by, birds chirping, and even people walking. For me, when I wake up in the morning, my soundscape is my ice maker going off, or the fan recirculating air throughout my dorm room. Everyone has different soundscapes, because everyone experiences different things. For example my everyday soundscape would be things most college students experience, but someone living in New York City will have completely different soundscapes from me.
Question 2:
A soundmark is when you hear and sound and it reminds you of something. The point of a soundmark from my understanding is it makes everyone feel a different way. When I hear people laughing outside of my dorm room, it reminds me of how much fun I had in college, but it could remind my roommates of past times she has had when she was home. You can capture a soundscape at any point of day or night, even a light sound like door opening and closing can remind people of their special someone coming home. But my favorite soundmark is hearing a christmas song. It warms my heart with all the Christmas memories that I have had with my family, and it holds a special place in my heart.
