Soundseeing tour

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Soundseeing tour is an audio tour that uses the ambient sounds and descriptions given by a tour guide to give the listener an accurate depiction of the surroundings. These types of recordings are usually made at tourist points of interest and are commonly distributed through podcasting, MP3 players, and wireless handheld devices.[1][2]
