How does your soil sound?

Anyone in Switzerland who is interested or just curious can borrow the equipment and record sounds from the soil themselves. The most exciting recordings will then become part of the sound map of Swiss soils. By the end of project, there will be an extensive collection of sounds coming from our soils.

What is so exciting is that you can hear and compare sounds from a very wide range of soils, e.g. allotments, wildflower meadows, grassland, arable fields, vineyards, orchards, permaculture soils, compost heaps, golf fairways and woodland.

Information on the soil ecosystem and ground noise

Unfortunately, we are already fully booked for 2025.

If you don’t want to wait for a loan, or if you want to integrate the soil microphone into your own regular activities, you can also buy it. We use the ‘Allsounder Aliso’ model from Elekon.
