  text: "People in cities are often exposed to complex mixtures of sounds, some originating
    from nature along with some created by human activities like traffic noise, sounds
    of industrial machinery, or music. This research aimed to study how the acoustic
    environment of a university campus is perceived by people. The procedures for
    soundscape data collection and analysis were based on the ISO 12913 series. 30
    volunteers divided into four groups participated in a “soundwalk” at the campus
    of the architecture school in Detmold, Germany, filling out questionnaires while
    sound\r\nmeasurements and recordings were being taken. After the soundwalk, the
    data from the questionnaires, sound measurements, recordings, pictures and videos
    were analyzed. The findings suggest that people’s perception of sound is susceptible
    to the context, as participants seemed to shift their preference according to
    the ongoing\r\nactivities that drew attention, such as a construction site, sounds
    from children playing, music and groups of people. The results provide new evidence
    and insights about the acoustic environment and the soundscape of the university
    campus and can inform stakeholders to improve environmental quality."
