• Soundscapes and the sounds that compose them are many and varied, and deserve our attention. Ecoacoustics is the rapidly advancing scientific discipline of recording and monitoring the sounds in our environment and can be used as an indication of the health of our environment. Generating interest among the general public can be chal-lenging, and this paper introduces research into creative ecoacoustic visualisation. It aims to increase public awareness of ecoacoustics and its use in broader conservation initiatives by using evidence-based, iterative methods to design ecoacoustic visualisation experiences that enhance audience engagement with sound, space and place.
