Child & Noise

An interdisciplinary symposium was held at Lund University in Sweden in march 2017 arranged by the Sound Environment Center aimed at shedding light on how sound environment affects children, spanning all the way from the prenatal stage to the young person enjoying loud music or engaging in other loud activities. Too seldom the question is asked of how the child percieves the surrounding sound environment. This report from the Child & Noise symposium brings forward answers to this question as well as presents state-of-the-art knowledge of children and the world of sound, music and noise from top researchers in the field.
