TL;DR: Soundscape research represents a paradigm shift from noise control policies towards a new multidisciplinary approach as it involves not only physical measurements but also the cooperation of humanity and social sciences to account for the diversity of soundscapes across countries and cultures, with more focus on how people actually experience the acoustic environments; and it considers environmental sounds as a "resource" rather than a "waste" as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The soundscape approach with its multidisciplinary groundings and perspectives can help to overcome sectoral barriers and shows that perception-related decisions can be derived to handle environmental noise problems adequately.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed to use further hearing-related parameters to improve the description and evaluation of environmental noise, such as frequency spectrum, duration, impulsive, tonal and low frequency components, etc.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the current status of socio-acoustic surveys in soundscape studies through the indication of appropriate question formats, types, and topics for each data collection method (soundwalks, interviews, listening tests, and focus group) for the involved public and acoustic stimuli.

TL;DR: An overview of the theoretical background is presented that applies emotion theory to soundscape and a proposed modification to an existing, standardized framework to include the meaning of emotion in the design of soundscapes is proposed.
