Sound Gardens are a solution to sound pollution in urban areas—for people as well as wildlife surrounding the city—by blocking out city sounds like construction and vehicle noise. Our design is inspired by the sounds of wind in nature passing through foliage and by rattle seeds. Using the movement of urban cities to create white noise, Sound Gardens—made of foliage and rattle seeds—would be placed along street lamps, metro rails, and building facades to suppress stressful city sounds, improve life quality, and provide a safer habitat.
