Any suggestions on finding quiet places to record habitat orientated
soundscapes and in Southern New England? Getting away from traffic
and airplanes is a huge challenge out here. It's nearly always
necessary to carefully edit out each intrusion. I feel a little
guilty about it, but I try to do it without interrupting a given
creatures call when it appears in the foreground.
Is there any sort of noise survey data out there or public use?
Perhaps something that can integrate topographic data along with
aircraft flyways and traffic speed/volume. You would think there
would be some sort of noise modeling systems for highway planning use
to be able to estimate the effects relative to the local topography.
It's funny, sometimes you can be high upon the top of a hill, and
hear every human voice in the valley below. While at other times the
land is just such that either a highway is sunken below grade as it
passes through a section of ledges and you would not even know it's
there.
