This survey aims to evaluate people’s preference for tropical forests natural acoustic environments (soundscapes). We will present you with a series of short (5 seconds) recordings from forests across Costa Rica. For each pair, simply choose the one you prefer the most. The questionnaire will take about 5 minutes to complete. At the end, you will be asked to answer a few additional questions.
- The recordings were made in tropical forests in Costa Rica (hundreds of locations!). They consist of background sounds (sometimes quite loud) and foreground sounds, including birds, insects, other animals, and occasionally human activities.
- Please fill out this survey on a device with good audio quality and/or ideally wearing headphones.
- The recordings may be of variable loudness, we recommend starting on a lower volume and turning up the level as appropriate.
- Only adults can be included in this study (18+ years old)
- The survey is open till November 30, 2026 and is also available in French and Spanish.
