The WikliNathi Longterm Soundscape Monitoring Project
Abstract
Since October 2017, 3D audio recordings have been
made every month at the Vogelinsel nature reserve on Lake Altmühlsee,
Germany. The recordings start one hour before and end one hour after
sunset. The microphone, position and recording device are identical for
all recordings. Each recording is analysed by hand using the same
analysis method, whereby the content of the recordings is annotated. The
weather data for the recording days is collected. The recording and
weather conditions at the recording location are documented
photographically. This data set is highly unique due to the 3D recording
technique and the long duration of the acoustic observation of nature
at one spot. In addition to collecting further data, the project aims to
compare the recordings with known algorithmic bioacoustic analysis
methods in order to better understand the changes in nature at the
recording site (possibly caused by climate/biodiversity change), to
develop further algorithmic methods of soundscape analysis and to use
the recordings and additional data for nature education,
medical-therapeutic and wellness contexts. The article describes the
data collection in detail, outlines the comparative results achieved so
far, presents our additional analysis methods and gives an outlook on
the future of the project.
